Incommunicado

Rhonda Goodall-Kirk ~ from 'The Greatest Show on Earth'

"A small traveling circus from the 1930’s dust bowl era or the dirty thirties; through this subject matter I wish to depict the emotional struggle we all face everyday. In the 1930’s the world was engulfed in poverty and running toward the Second World War. Today the gap between the haves and the have-not’s is bigger and growing, not unlike in the thirties. Homelessness is on the rise and we are stripping the earth bare of it’s natural resources.

Like the clowns and circus performers we all have a face we show to the world and a face we wear in private. Often the faces are poles apart. Pigeon holed, society doesn’t see the man behind the mask" (Goodall-Kirk 2008).
