b.1920 Joesph dolphin has appeared in many films such as billy bathgate, rain without thunder, tommorow night, failsafe and pootie tang.

 

His art is an attempt at a restoration of grace, integrity, dignity and beauty to unwanted and disgarded materials, that do not fullfill a function or perhaps even could still but it is easier to throw them away, perhaps a personal comment on the process of aging.

 

Empathy and pathos are helpful to view these works as beautiful.
