I posted this a while ago on my new website Thomas Cummins Art + Photography and thought it might be good to start reposting some of my San Antonio related articles on here. While working on my current public art project for the University Health System, I was introduced to the artwork of California artist and MacArthur [...]

“Ascorbic acid is needed for a variety of biosynthetic pathways, by accelerating hydroxylation and amidation reactions.

Our own correspondent is sorry to tell Of an uneasy time that all is not well On the borders there’s movement In the hills there is trouble Food is short, crime is double Prices have risen since the government fell Casualties increase as the enemy shell The climate’s unhealthy, flies and rats thrive And sooner or later the end will arrive This is your [...]

Allen quotes from a catalogue describing Wilson’s “search for an art in which no evidence [...]

Since it seems people are still visiting Emvergeoning looking for new posts, I thought I’d mention that the site is mostly on hiatus (but props to Thomas for keeping the event listings updated, it’s a lot of work), although we’ve all been busy with other projects in other venues. A few of my own pieces [...]
