ABSALOM JONES
In 1794 Jones founded the first black Episcopal congregation, and ten years later, in 1804, he was the first African American to be ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church of the United States. He is listed on the Episcopal calendar of saints. He is remembered liturgically on the date of his death, February 13, in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer as “Absalom Jones, Priest, 1818”.

Steven Hawking Thought-Experiment Quote:
“Consider a pair of
twins. Suppose that one twin goes to live on the top of a mountain while
the other stays at sea level. The first twin would age faster than the
second. Thus, if they met again, one would be older than the other. In
this case, the difference in ages would be very small, but it would be
much larger if one of the twins went for a long trip in a spaceship at
nearly the speed of light. When he returned, he would be much younger
than the one who stayed on earth…In the theory of relativity, there
is no unique absolute time, but instead each individual has his own
personal measure of time that depends on where he is, and how he is
moving.”
It’s a complex idea to distill into one image. So I decided to interpret it literally. Initially one twin lived on a mountain and the other at sea level. I incorporate a snow-capped mountain and a tropical beach. One twin goes off to explore the galaxy. I illustrate this using a comet-like ship crisscrossing space in an arc reminiscent of an electron swirling around the nucleus of an atom. Then there’s the physical representation of the twins. I reinforce this twice, where the adult twins are nondescript but are irrevocably linked. And as infants, framing the settings where the twins originally resided.
What’s with the babies anyway? Let’s just say Stanley Kubrick and the Starchild have a lot to answer for…

Abolish ICE.
The United States has a long, sordid history when it comes to separating the children of people of color. The indigenous peoples of this land mass endured this indignity first. Enslaved African Americans had their families ripped apart continuously. There are documented instances of children being separated from their families in Japanese Internment camps as well.
Now this country is at it again. I’m bearing witness and my heart is breaking. I denounce these actions with every fiber of my being. #KeepFamiliesTogether
So I finally did this thing. THIS IS AMERICA. I’d appreciate it if
y'all cop a t-shirt or a print. Brother trying to make rent. Seriously.
