"Ichthyes" A 'Covid-19' digital image.


"Ichthyes"
A Harkrader digital art creation.
According to Greek Mythology,
two gods disguised themselves as
Syrian river fish and are accredited, by some,
to have rescued Aphrodite and Eros
from the monster, Typhoeus.
(A Harkrader Covid-19 art analogy
-a montage, art imitating life).

The day following the exhibit, Ellen and I found and entered the unkept
and dusty storefront / interior that was filled from floor to ceiling
and front to back with old and ancient African masks, furniture,
doors wood and metal sculpture, etc. The purchase of an
African (Congo) Fetish was made. Eleven years later--It's for resale.

Domestic vs. Nature




Domestic versus Nature
by Harkrader

Seven feline plump and round
Look for birds to confound
Domestics full of Fancy Feast
Look for fowl to complete

Feathers full of lofty flight
Look for earth to alight
Birds full of sing and song
Look for seeds to prolong

Domestics full of power and might
Look to nature for a fight
Birds vibrate like ringing bell
Do birds go to heaven?
Do cats go to hell?
