You can find my new piece “Going Through Changes” on view in the current group show “Sound and Vision” @hehcoamano in Santa Fe, NM - Curated by @marthatraer. This is the last week to see the show in person - on view through Nov. 2nd, 2025. Check out all the work for the show over at hehcoamano.org This work pushes new territory for me - it’s a hand painted screen print on 11 basswood blocks housed in a custom raw metal frame that I collaborated on with Britton Banowsky (@lamyironworks). He knocked it out of the park, from the side cutout typography “awe and wonder”, to the custom french cleat he built into the back of the frame for hanging. The theme and requirement for “Sound and Vision” was that each artist had to select a song and then create a visual piece inspired by that song. I choose the heart wrenching soul ballad “Changes” by Charles Bradley (a cover of the 1972 original by Black Sabbath) - a song about the loss of a deeply loved one. The opening lyrics are the anchor in the song that grab me every time “I’m so unhappy, I’m so sad, I lost the best friend that I ever had….I’m going through changes” - immediately makes me think of my best friend of 30 years, Rob Campbell who passed in early 2020. Both Charles and Rob meant a lot to me. With Rob, this artwork is a quilted patchwork of illustrated symbols and patterns representing stories of our time together from age 15 to 45 which have become folklore embedded in my memory. Charles Bradley passed in 2017 not long after the release of “Changes”. I saw him perform around a dozen times… in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New Orleans, New York, and Austin - where we shared a conversation that I’ll never forget. The undeniable level of joy, elation, and connectedness felt at his shows was absolute magic. Believe in Awe and Wonder, Tony - High Desert Broadcast Service
