Cover | Tim Mooney
Silent Cry (acrylic). This month’s cover is artist Tim Mooney’s protest against the selling of young women into the sex industry, rape as a tactic of war, the denial of basic human rights to many women around the world, and the female body as a locus for political control, ideological disputes, and personal hopes. As a fine artist, Mooney hopes his and other artists’ work can meld beauty with justice. As a pastor, he hopes the church will add its voice to those calling for the protection of women and not turn a deaf ear to the most vulnerable. Mooney recently moved to Denver, where he spends half his time in his new studio and the other half leading Peoples Presbyterian Church, a historic African-American congregation. See his eclectic range of layered landscapes, abstracts, abscapes (abstracted landscapes), and figurative works at www.timmooneystudio.com or at 4th Street Studio, 1717D Fourth St., Berkeley; www.fourthstreetstudio.com.
