I think that something that started in anger and annoyance has turned into a wonderful discussion of the celebration of the differences within us all. As an artist, I revel in the differences in color among human beings. I have stared unabashedly at ebony blacks who have had varying degrees of red or blue reflected in their skin texture. Or the porcelain blush of a red-headed Irish lass. Or the coppery tone of a Peruvian native with a mop of shard-like straight black hair. The flare of nostrils, the thickness of lips, the cant of an eyelid, the bump on a nose, the freckles on the wash of a cheek. Such wonders and miracles. What Bonestructure's grandfather said is the truest measure of us all...I live my life by one, and only one, rule and that is to treat others as I hope to be treated myself. Cris
