I moved here [Kenosha] in 1999 or 2000 and have seen many things happening in this great city of Kenosha, Wisconsin. Like many others here in this great city I am drawn to the lake shore with its roar of the great Lake Michigan’s sounds, soothing of the mind with its powerful wave of grace.

I always have to turn to my artwork in my life. There have been many times where I could not continue on with it, and it has always been a long struggle for some of the art to commutate; I have done this for a small living, and not until now I have realized that it is not going to run away from me, but just improve my mind and my soul. Art has already had and impact of positive changes in myself.

My work represents an ongoing investigation into the metaphoric possibilities of objects and the psychological projections they attract. As remnants of material culture, these objects carry with them the residue of memory, psychological associations, the relativity of time and space and the complexity of identity.

Through a layering of temporal and spatial, as well as textual and decorative, elements I explore the concept of reality as a product of perception, cultural adaptation and engendered responses while also suggesting the possibility of a metaphysical relationship to phenomena that would entail exposure to numinous experiences.

The latest novel of Dominic Cibrario.

During July of 1951 Adam is traumatized on the family farm in Wisconsin. He’s unable to tell his parents what happened to him in the barn. Burdened by his secret, the ten-year-old boy begins to exhibit bazaar behavior. His worried parents don’t know how to help him. They are preoccupied with earning a living and their own secrets. Adam’s father, Giovanni Montanya, leaves the farm each morning to work on the assembly line at Nash Motors with Uncle Pete. Both men were drafted into the army after Pearl Harbor and suffer from the horrors of the war as the Korean War escalates. Adam’s mother, Gertrude, drives the truck daily to the Farmers’ Market to sell vegetables. Sometimes she takes Adam, his brother, Karl, or Grandma with her. The entire family works hard but their routine is harsh. Giovanni escapes by going to Jim’s Bar while the women and Aunt Clara seek comfort in the Catholic Church. As the secrets are revealed, each person is changed for better or worse in this novel.
