“One Someone, Anyone,” Galleri Urbane, Marfa, TX 07.05.08
On July 5, 2008, Sons of the Star was shown as a part of the summer show, “One Someone, Anyone.” The opening was a wonderful success. Marfa Public Radio hosted an interview in anticipation of the show and played some of my music.

Morgan Sorne also deals with history, ritual and tradition in his work. “One Someone Anyone” features ten of Sorne’s mixed media pieces, nine of which are life-size paintings of children dressed in wild colors and patterns. Some of the children carry knives and spears, and are wearing extravagant attire, such as ornate headdresses and hot pink tights featuring red hearts. He calls these children his moon kids, and there is certainly something otherworldly about them. But they, like all of the images in his work, also represent very human themes.
Despite the serious thematic aspects of the work, Sorne also captures the whimsical nature of the human experience.
