Dog Whistles woven into the fabric. UA == a clothing store for the Ubermensch. Uber Alles and a salute from the Right Hand of Idaho. In other words, for those at the back of the bus: the wild right wears a hat as safe, silent signal of membership.

[…now viewed as Nazi propaganda and offensive to modern-day Germans.

Germans have drawn parallels between their national anthem and the motto of President Trump. “From this day forward, it’s going to be only America first,” Trump said during his Inauguration, invoking a phrase that has troubling roots in nineteen-forties nativism and anti-Semitism. About a week later, Konstantin von Notz, a Green Party parliamentarian in the German Bundestag, tweeted, “America First is an update of _Deutschland, Deutschland über alles _. . .’]

Ref Notes: Plank, for his part, only hinted at the recent white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Frazier departed following Trump’s apparent unwillingness over the weekend to single out white supremacists.

“I love our country and our company and will continue to focus my efforts on inspiring every person that they can do anything through the power of sport which promotes unity, diversity and inclusion,” Plank said in a statement.

“He wants to build things. He wants to make bold decisions and be really decisive,” Plank said, alluding to Trump’s desire to bolster American manufacturing and his plans to build a wall along the US-Mexico border and pass a large infrastructure improvement bill.

“I’m a big fan of people that operate in the world of ‘publish and iterate’ versus ‘think, think, think, think, think,'” Plank said. “So there’s a lot that I respect there.” ..


Plank went on to essentially apologize, saying that in today’s political climate, a company has to take a firm stance. No longer can messaging be middle-of-the-road in order to “make everyone happy. People want to know where you stand and what issues you stand for,” he observed.

The Roast as prompt. “It is when diversity itself is made the prime purpose of the work – whether diversity of subject or of creators – that the work falters. I want to see the best possible work, and when we do, diversity is emergent rather than a concious intent glued onto the work.–“

Gatherings of the skilled increases the skill of those at the table. If, and only if… a person’s awareness increases beyond the elements of the work, the components. The gathering is the difference. Sometimes, it provides enough affirmation, supporting you as you gain the skills outside your studio.

“I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT WHICH I DO NOT FEE;. The energy in NY today is all important, not so much the product being produced.”

“We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can make for us, which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world.” — proust

[As a young man, Proust was a dilettante and a social climber whose aspirations as a writer were hampered by his lack of self-discipline. His reputation from this period, as a snob and an amateur, contributed to his later troubles with getting Swann’s Way, the first part of his large-scale novel, published in 1913]

“Photography suits the temper of this age – of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately. — Edward Weston

items noted– an artist speaking about impulse. And, to those who are not a participant in current communities conversation, they don’t recognize her Art references. Her practice references, note how smoothly she uses them; how thoroughly she has absorbed that dictionary.

Paloma Dooley.  (b. 1993, New York, NY) lives and works in Los Angeles. a BA in photography from Bard College. In 2016, she completed a monthlong residency at the Vermont Studio Center. recently completed a four-month residency at Quinn Emanuel Artists in Residence. She is a recipient of a 2024 Puffin Foundation Artist Grant. About is brief, unlike her image making method.

“I was born and raised in New York. I spent an influential and magical year of my youth in Roswell, NM, which instilled in me a love of the landscape and being on the road. As a teen, I turned to photography as an outlet for longing, searching, and wonder after losing my dad, who was an artist. I photographed his studio and I photographed in the landscape as a way to work through grief. I attended Bard College and earned a B.A. in Photography in 2015; my thesis project was awarded the Stuart Strizler Levine Award. In 2016 I completed a monthlong residency at the Vermont Studio Center, where I gave an artist’s talk and slide lecture. My work was included in “Too Good to be Photographed,” ed. Paul Paper, a publication that investigates the strengths and failures of photography as a medium, in 2017. In 2018, I was commissioned to create a new body of work, “What it Feels Like to be a Beautiful Rectangle,” for “Augenblick Mal,” a Swiss publication. My recent project Ground Control and accompanying text was published in Carla Issue 21 in August 2020. I am also included in “Primal Sight,” 2021, a groundbreaking look at contemporary black and white photography edited by curator Efrem Zelony-Mindell. When I’m not focusing on my own photographic projects, I am working on the small artist-run exhibition space, Hermitage, that I co-founded in 2020.” – Paloma Dooley

PD: In 2020 my garden became my only creative outlet, and a source of peace and strength amidst the crushing uncertainty of the pandemic. I had lost my job in the art world and felt totally disconnected from photography. Working – and making my own work – was how I had always found my way through the world. Photography was my guide and a mode of exploration, but it didn’t feel available to me at the beginning of the pandemic. Feeling a dearth of change and growth in my own life, I set my camera aside and focused instead on the quick lives of my plants. Growth, abundance, decline, death – caring for my plants was a way to care for myself.
