The DIA’s exhibition Through African Eyes: The European in African Art, 1500 to Present is the broadest overview on the subject to date.
The show received praise in the New York Times:
Who would have imagined, even just a few years ago, that such histories and energies could have been found in art that most of us never knew existed?

The May/June issue of Yakima Magazine features a cover story on Ed’s work developing Tieton, a small town in Central Washington near Yakima.
A second article talks about Tieton Lofts, a fruit warehouse transformed into live/work lofts that are cool enough to be photographed for Apartment Therapy. You’ve really got to visit.
