Redaction

"Awake, awake, Deborah. Awake, awake; utter a song."

an underlying theme in my writings, my art.

My journal/sketchbook for the 2012 Sketchbook Tour arrived a few days ago.  My theme:  Villains and Heroes.  It is a redacted story entwined with the oral/aural history of The Clarke Family through the

 4 generations associated with the St. Luke's Parish NYC, The Cornwall Bridge Farm with it's stone "Chapel of St. Joseph and the Angels" 

, a meddlesome priest, his mother, his sister.  

the first publication of the redacted history will be returned to The Brooklyn Art Library by mid-January.  The sketchbook will get catalogued, then sent on it's world tour.  the project will stop in Boston this year.

a brief history of The Reverend Edward H. Schlueter's 40 years at St. Luke's in Greenwich Village, New York.

The winged bull is the 'logo' of St. Luke's.  St. Luke, the 'Beloved Physician", patron saint of artists.  I'm an artist, have never felt any affiliation with St. Luke as patron saint.  St. Luke's is where my grandfather's generation grew up, under the familial associations and direction of  "Father" Schlueter (pronounced Schleeter.  last name meaning:  the keeper of the keys, locksmith).
