Mars Clark, painter, activist cooking up Catskill Chili in her East Village studio/home. She's preparing a meal for her friend--- whose very young and very beautiful daughter is very ill. Mars was also an engine in her much publicized and successful blood drive. In fact, some might call this blood drive historic.
She is currently painting a pictorial history of the world; hallucinatory and intensely personal. Its cosmology, its biology, its the Sefiroth, the tree of life, the Seven Planets. It's a feminine lens. The view is strange and beautiful. Strong narrative, provocative symbols.
I once viewed the finished canvases exhibited on the wall of her studio. She's telling a big story.
She throws huge parties and invites everyone.
This is why Mars is the first in this series of FFRF.
