I love the idea of art, fine craft being a form of activism. At a recent visit at the studio of Fred Johnson and Carol Genethis in Seagrove, NC Fred in his flamboyant performance art delivery with eyes rolling proclaimed that " the world needs to be hit by love bombs!" What the world needs is more love. "
Well, I haven't been able to get love bombs outta my mind. I want to be a Ceramic Terrorist throwing love bombs at the world. Giving love is to be rich, being selfish and angry is being poor.
If I get the story right Fred had a massive heart attack and once he discovered he was going to live he started signing his work "Love Fred". That is a proclamation of love for being alive and a love of life. It's a love bomb! I have this Fred Johnson Mohammed Ali love bomb bowl at home here in the Cactus Lounge and I believe it transfers love to me thru osmosis. Ali maybe the greatest fighter of my time was also one of the biggest lovers. He too was a love terrorist. Floats like a butterfly stings like a bee. Consider becoming an activist and bomb the world with love. It starts now-boom, boom, boom.
