Pop Utopia
Our society’s technological and architectural advances both delight and disgust us. They perform necessary functions for habitation, transportation and production. Yet with their empowering abilities comes the potential for abuse. Technology has provided us with mass communication, industrialization, global exploration, and poverty alleviation, but only at the cost of potential nuclear destruction, information congestion, environmental contamination, and over-population.
The architectural grid of my drawings arrives from influences as divergent as the work of Paulo Solari, Frank Lloyd Wright, the funky Utopian worlds of the Jetsons, and Cold War-era safe cities. The vivid color schemes of my paintings and drawings are provided by acrylic, colored pencils, markers and gouache. With a concept of beauty firmly rooted in structures of proportion and order, my creative process enables me to understand the abstractions of human development. By manipulating biotechnological illustration charts, underground air transportation paths, and diagrams of plumbing and heating systems, I create pseudosystems in order to infuse non-aesthetic subjects with beauty and humor.

| Our debt to Bill Moyers Former Peace Corps Deputy Director Bill Moyers leaves PBS next week to begin writing his memoir of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Read what Moyers says about journalism under fire, the value of a free press, and the yearning for democracy. "We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country," he warns, "or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia." |
| Is Gaddi Leaving? Rumors are swirling that Peace Corps Director Vasquez may be leaving the administration. We think Director Vasquez has been doing a good job and if he decides to stay to the end of the administration, he could possibly have the same sort of impact as a Loret Ruppe Miller. If Vasquez has decided to leave, then Bob Taft, Peter McPherson, Chris Shays, or Jody Olsen would be good candidates to run the agency. Latest: For the record, Peace Corps has no comment on the rumors. |
| The Birth of the Peace Corps UMBC's Shriver Center and the Maryland Returned Volunteers hosted Scott Stossel, biographer of Sargent Shriver, who spoke on the Birth of the Peace Corps. This is the second annual Peace Corps History series - last year's speaker was Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn. |
| Charges possible in 1976 PCV slaying Congressman Norm Dicks has asked the U.S. attorney in Seattle to consider pursuing charges against Dennis Priven, the man accused of killing Peace Corps Volunteer Deborah Gardner on the South Pacific island of Tonga 28 years ago. Background on this story here and here. |
