About the Item

The title for this work was inspired by the ruminations of Charles Manson in the 2010 publication Charles Manson NOW. “When you come to prison and you stay the fifteen years, all the dogs of the world are dead when you come back out, there is no dog that was a live when you were out last time. The three dog night would mean you were in prison three times, three times all the dogs.” Michael Beam holds a Master of Fine Arts from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and a Bachelors of Fine Arts from California University of Pennsylvania.
