"But We Festooned the Barrels!", 6 in. x 8 in., mixed media on paper, 2020
My wife, our five-year-old son, and I are at home, on a small farm in the mountains of central Appalachia. We’re staying vigilant, expanding the garden, and watching over our parents.
"Corona Selfie (Drips and Open Arms)", 11 in. x 8.5 in., mixed media on paper, 2020
In mid-March we convinced my mother, in her 70s, to move in with us for the duration of the pandemic. She’s a retired schoolteacher and she’s homeschooling Julian. We’re very thankful for this. His reading and math skills are coming along; he can count to 10 in German, French, and Japanese. Mary’s older sister and her parents are on the farm too; her parents are elderly, one just shy of 90, one just north of it.
"Do You Wanta Breathe? Make Your Plea Pretty", 11 in. x 8.5 in., mixed media on paper, 2020
The chickens are healthy and producing eggs. A bear recently destroyed our beehives. We subsequently adopted a puppy, a Great Pyrenees/Newfoundland mix, hoping she’ll protect future bees. My new work has focused largely on the current health crisis.
"The Ghost of the Chair We've Always Shared", 11 in. x 8.5 in., mixed media on paper, 2020

Recent Works by Ray Materson
This image depicts a story from Materson's book Sins and Needles. A young man and fellow prison inmate with an advanced case of AIDS asked him to create an embroidery image of an eagle, because he said the eagle was his symbol. Unfortunately, he was taken to the infirmary about a week later and passed away shortly thereafter. This image is something of a tribute to him.
Ray Materson was featured on Raw Vision Weekly a couple of weeks ago. Please contact the artist directly for any further details. materson.r@gmail.com
Visionary Art Environment Documentary Series
Nek Chand's Rock Garden, Chandigargh

Made in 2004 the film first shows the Taj Mahal and then moves on to cover Nek Chand's Rock Garden with contributions from Nek Chand, John Maizels, Tony Rajer and NM Sharma. This shows the Rock Garden in its prime, before the disintegration and neglect by the Chandigarh Administration that followed Nek Chand's death in January 2015.
