    logo_sedonaartmuseumSedona AZ (November 3, 2014) – Ron Bacon, with their two children Summer and Britt, hosted the first Sedona Art Museum fundraiser at his home on Nov. 1-2 to honor the art work of the late wife Lisa Bacon. Several hundred art lovers and museum supporters viewed over 150 of her “scraptures” (Bacon’s word for her combination of sculptures, scraps, and rapture) while enjoying appetizers prepared by Heartline Cafe and champagne.

    Bacon was an intuitive artist; she said of her process: “The circuitous method of trial and error is time consuming, but it gets me where I’m going since I don’t know where I’m going until I get there.” She especially enjoyed giving new life to things that most people throw away. The result was a body of work, with each one having its own presence.

    Also on view at the event was a scale model of a possible design for the Sedona Art Museum building. The Sedona Art Museum President John Warren Oakes and Sharron Vincent Porter, chair of the Collections and Exhibitions Committee, handed out brochures and buttons in the Sedona Art Museum tent and answered questions about the progress of the museum.

    The Sedona Art Museum is a 50l(c)(3) organization of individuals dedicated to archiving the art of the Verde Valley. Please visit sedonaartmuseum.org. More information about Bacon’s art and life is available at lisabacon.com.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
