• Art and Writing by Randy Michael Signor
Randy Michael Signor is a writer and visual artist living and working on Capitol Hill in Seattle. In terms of medium, his abstract acrylic paintings and sheet-metal sculptures couldn’t be more different, but both work with color, shape, and light, and the illusions of movement and life that they create. What happens when you view his work is private and personal but it dances to a beat that you build together. His works vary in size but each of them makes a provocative impact in a public or private space.
OSAWATOMIE, a novel by Randy Michael Signor.
Randy Michael Signor’s novel Osawatomie couldn’t be more timely in today’s complex racially-divisive world. Though much of the action takes place in the 1850s and, later, in the mid-1950s and 1960, the issues are immediate and encompassing: Today’s racial divide is nothing new and Osawatomie confronts our nation’s failure to live up to its promises. It is about otherness and exclusion and fears of the unknown; but it is also about young adults figuring out their way in a world in which our humanity is both our burden and our salvation.
