Foreseeing Nothing
By Adam Mysock
Located in New Orleans, LA
(after: Henry Fawcett; Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett by Ford Made Brown, 1872) Framed: 8.50h x 10w in On November 7th, 2016, it seemed as if everyone knew how the U.S. presidential election would conclude, particularly our major media outlets. On the morning of November 9th, 2016, it was clear that no one had known what they had been talking about. We’d spent so much time living in a world defined by largely reliable focus groups, polls, and surveys that we’d become convinced that we could idly predict the future. Our news sources became complacent in their analysis of human behavior, and we followed along. It became the blind leading the blind. But what truly struck me was that we seemed surprised to discover our inability to foresee the future, to discover that we aren’t omniscient. Here—in the tradition of other paintings depicting the parable of the blind...

Waiting for the Pool to Open

Located in New Orleans, LA
after: William Bradford's "Scene in the Arctic" (c. 1880) and Peder Severin Kroyer "Boys Bathing at Skagen, Summer Evening" (1899) Framed 11h x 13.75w in Living in a house which sits about 5 feet below sea level, I find myself thinking about rising sea levels a lot. There’s a great possibility that the home where my wife and I have begun our family will be underwater centuries from now. Conversely, swimming has always been a passion of mine – my wife and I even met on a swim team early in our teenage years. In trying to find the silver lining to global warming drowning our home, I can look for solace in the fact that there’ll be more places to go swimming when the seas overtake our coastal areas. There’s an innocence in Kroyer’s boys – and the concept of children swimming...
