At a time when all known convention(s) are in a state of flux, globally we see issues of identity coming to the fore. People, cultures, countries, corporate branding . . . just about everything is struggling with identity. I see your work and see an artist who is not afraid of who he is and knows clearly where he stands. This is identity in your face. A well articulated juxtaposition of the present image (portrait) with historical reference points/images that define(ed) who you have become. Although personal, your age and experience growing up in the 50's and 60's, and as such a member of the baby boom generation, is easily extrapolated to every other member of that generation. I see your home town and I am in Bristol, England. I see the test pattern and somewhere in my files I have an Indian Head test pattern, etc. Your personal frankness and honesty allows for others to see themselves on a parallel path. This needs to be a traveling exhibit along with many others exploration of identity.

I found your Tom series fascinating, thought provoking, and reminiscent of some of my own personal experiences. I viewed each image and read all the captions to get a better understanding of not only the art project itself, but of you as a person, which I believe might have been a great part of your intent. While I do not share the Taoist philosophy that you seem to have embraced, I do believe that there is a better way to live than just working all week to accumulate money for more useless material possessions. I have staked my eternal destiny on the teachings of and my faith in Jesus, the Christ. I have neither read or heard of any other great master who was willing to lay down his innocent life for the sins of this world and then have the power to rise up from the grave in victory over death. Forgive me for preaching, but to not reply to that part of your project would be to deny my own personal faith, which I cannot do. I like your art and I do not take offense to it in any way, in spite of my own Christian commitment and desire to see others come to know Him (John 3:16). In fact, I am inspired by it. Please continue to share it with me.

This is a very interesting series. It invites the audience to think hard about the message. I like the technique, very original. Good!
