Do we exist in time or does time exist within us????

Larry Weekes presents a mixed-media Plus/Space installation.

Larry believes that the role of the artist is to communicate, document and inspire thought. The artist must evoke the energy of feelings. The artist must also document history and culture. By documenting events and people in our past we keep alive the energy from the past, and so it educates in the present.

Larry Weekes was born and raised in Harlem, NYC, where he attended public school including The Fiorello High School of Music and Art. He continued to study at New York Community College, majoring in Advertising Design. Larry continued his studies at the City College of New York, The Art Students League and The School of Visual Arts. He spent many years in retail management.
