Joe Mangrum- Sand Paintings in Public Place

I became aware of Joe Mangrum last month when I learned that he was in Chicago working on two mandala like sand paintings in two different public places. Crazy as I am about mandalas and the spiritual in art, I needed  to see them. I was able to see the final product as I was unable to be there when he was actually working. He sent me though this short video of one of the sites which is
worth to watch. Here is the link. I am sure that you will enjoy seeing it as much as I do

My father liked to cook. One of my preferred deserts was figs in syrup. I truly loved it! 

The last conversation I had with my father over the phone was in February 1991. I was planning a

visit to BA in May of that year and I wanted to do a road trip with  him to visit the town where he was born. At that moment he was not interested in such a plan but very much wanted me to know that he was making several jars of "higos en almibar" for me.

When I expressed my surprise that he was working on it so much in advance, he replied: 

"I may not be here by then. I just want you to know that there will be few jars ready in the kitchen for you to enjoy them."

He died in mid April of that year. When I arrived

to his house, I went straight to the kitchen and, as he said, there they were-- three jars of "higos en almibar" in the pantry silently waiting for me ...
