Images of note
Vietnamese artist Nguyen Hoa
Hiep was once a boat refugee/captive in a Hong Kong concentration
camp. He spent several years there, painting on blankets, the
only available canvas. The possibility of self-expression, no matter the form, was perhaps Hiep's only remaining guarantor of endurance and hope, given the vicissitudes of the situation. JAF once volunteered for the New Visions Gallery, a non-profit
gallery (funding cuts, now defunct) that displayed Hiep's prison camp blankets. The blankets were too
expensive, and not warm enough, so a regular painting from after
his arrival in the U.S. will have to do. Looks better
in the actual world.

JAF and Hieroglyphics |
Reading the JAF web page is like translating Egyptian hieroglyphics. Below is a fragment of a rough translation of a JAF message found in the tomb of Thutmose the Most, around 7000 BCE. |
|
The transcript of the above fragment, found in the tomb of King Thutmose the Most, reads as follows:
Jeremy Action Figure brings greetings from afar to King Thutmose the Most and, likewise, says Thanks unto King Thutmose the Most for demonstrating excellent suggestibility. May the household name of King Thutmose the Most ever remain upon the lips of the people of the Nile, instead of being lost amid a howling desert sirocco that erases the monuments of erstwhile pretenders to the throne. Yeah, that's what it says.
