Dough Jones Makes Us Aware of Homelessness

Dough Jones " Homeless Man #2 " Appeals Artistically While Provoking  A Social Issue



Dough Jones "Homeless Man #2" is at the wall near the door


Dough tells us a story "While waiting on the sidewalk in front of a restaurant, a homeless man began speaking  As I listened to him, he said some things that were very profound. Quickly, I wrote down some of his quotes. This paper sculpture is base on one of the statements he made."

One of the main attractions of this exhibit is Doug Jones "Homeless Man #2". It's big, it's near the door and his sculpture and his brush writing are visually appealing. Additionally ,  the content  is profound &  laced with spiritual and psychological meanings . Dough's piece can become a poster to awaken people's sensibilities on homelessness.

Detailed look at Homeless Man Quote
 Dough also shows us how an artist can create art by observing your surroundings and  even people who are often  overlooked by society can offer deep insights on life.  He is also thoughtful by suggesting that he has a photograph of his piece without the glass on (no glare in the photo). I think the glare adds a spiritual sparkle in the homeless man quote. Don't you think?

I told him it's ok to have a  glare on the photo since this gives evidence that his piece is really on EXHIBITION.

After all blogs are supposed to be opinions of a blogger who presents real-life situation.
