When it is hard to reach out to people, start with the easiest to trust and work upwards.

Karen Gunderson in her all black paintings conjures vast landscapes through what critic Gerard McCarthy described in Art in America as “a deft working in surface texture alone.” Over the past eighteen years she has perfected a technique whereby pictorial illusions result from white light reflected off the raised edges of varied brushstrokes.

“My black paintings use a process which calls upon our sense of the haptic, or our sense of touch. When I paint an image, the brush follows the interior contours of the form. It is as if I am tracing the surface of the volume of the image with my brush….feeling it in space. The ﬁnal effect produced depends upon the angle of light refraction and the position of the viewer; when you move the picture changes. I believe I have made a new way to think about painting.”

Sure, it may be a little annoying when the dogs come inside and leave muddy prints on your floors, but according to the Department of Awesome Antiquities, these particular paw prints are anything but irritating. Possibly dating as far back as 2,000 years ago, these puppy prints were preserved on ancient Roman tiles, created when the pup ran across the fresh clay before it was dry. They were discovered last year in England, in the Blackfriars area of Leicester, the same English city where the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a parking lot in 2012.

“They are beautiful finds, as they represent a snapshot, a single moment in history,” said Nick Daffern, a senior project manager with Wardell Armstrong Archaeology. “It is lovely to imagine some irate person chasing a dog or some other animal away from their freshly made tiles.”

“I fear that we underestimate the ways that [metrics and] assumptions of sameness and opposition will continue to shape a love that is narcissistic, which is not really love if you ask me, even in the midst of radical talk.
