THE LONG ART
“I am dedicated to the idea of rethinking, reimagining, and re-skilling the sustainable, resilient imagery and methodology from the ancient past to speak to the present.
The era of 20th Century fast, momentary, disposable ‘now’ art & culture is ending. Learn to create enduring, sustainable, ‘long’ art for the new millennium.”
-Romolo
