March 21, 2017No Comments

Clarkdale AZ (March 21, 2017) – Nationally renowned sculptor, Novie Trump is the featured artist for a solo exhibition titled “The Heavens Unfastened” at the Verde Art Gallery on the Yavapai College Campus, 601 Black Hills Drive Bldg. F-105.

“The Heavens Unfastened” is a collection of site-specific installations that explore the themes of love, loss and longing. Formally trained in classical archaeology at the University of North Carolina, Trump’s work has been selected for juried and invitational exhibitions in the US and Europe and featured in numerous publications. Trump utilizes wax, glass, ceramic, thread and steel in her installations.

Visually stunning and intellectually provocative, she and her work speak to the complexities of human emotion. “I am interested in work that explores the unknown, both literal and figurative. Secrets are an integral part of my work: the unopened box, the unbroken egg, the lost ritual, the illegible word, the empty cocoon. These are used to examine the intertwined relationships of light and dark, loss and hope, birth and death and rebirth again.” As articulate in the spoken word as the visual language, the college is pleased to announce, Trump will speak on inspiration and installation of this work during the opening reception scheduled for Thursday March 23, from 5 PM to 7 PM.

The Heavens Unfastened will be available to the public at the Verde Art Gallery at Yavapai College 601 S. Black Hills Drive, Bldg. F-105 Clarkdale, AZ, from March 20 through April 13, 2017. The Gallery is open Monday-Thursday 10-AM to 3PM. An opening reception will be held on March 23, from 5 – 7pm. This event is free and open to the public.

If you would like more information about this exhibition, please contact Bennett Roti at 928.649.5479 or visit online at www.yc.edu/artgallery. Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday, 10 AM – 3PM.

A Cauldron of Misconceptions: Sedona Enquirer
By Sean Dedalus

Sedona, AZ — I don’t know what happened to the Publisher of Sedona.Biz, the once moderate and reasonable journalist, Tommy Acosta. Or maybe I do. He must be pulling our leg.

In Mr. Acosta’s last Opinion piece, Cauldron of Chaos, Acosta pins together a necklace of current events and concludes we are on the verge of a “cosmic reckoning”. Acosta throws paint on the canvas with each hand slapping the slop on the imagination of the readers. He says in Georgia, a young college student jogging on campus was raped and murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien. Shortly thereafter, Congress passes the Laken Riley Bill.

In Louisiana, Acosta points to Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US Army veteran who killed 14 people and left 35 more injured after he drove a truck into a crowd on New Years Day.

In New York City Sebastian Zapeta, another illegal alien took out a match and set afire a sleeping woman to death on a Brooklyn subway. Meanwhile, up in Manhattan, the CEO of United Healthcare was shot in the back by Luigi Mangione an Ivy League graduate. Acosta also takes us to Colorado where the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua took over an entire apartment building.

Acosta is not finished as he suggests that Los Angelas County’s California looked like nine concentric circles of torment which constituted hell on Earth, as spelled out by Dante Aligheri.

Finally, Mr. Acosta draws our attention to the skies all around the world where US Black Op drones follow alien plasma orbs, while Joe Biden wears his typical dumbfounded look and mumbles that even though he does not know what is going on, there is no evidence of any danger to public safety.

Mr. Acosta warns American society is unravelling at the seams. He stops short of predicting the showdown between Jesus and the Antichrist. His Opinion reads like the script to The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock.

I am sorry to report to Mr. Acosta that there is no evil spirit spreading fear throughout America. That’s right. No evil spirit. Just greedy criminals and politicians. And very stupid politicians whose malfeasance borderlines on criminal conduct.

If we were to reflect as to events suggesting the end of the world we need only look back to World War II (1939-1945). Over 30 Nations were actually at war. Over 100 million people served in uniform. An estimated 70-85 million deaths were caused by the conflict, representing about 3% of the global population in 1940. On 6 and 9 of August 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 286,818 people were killed.
