There exists a community of faithful who believe in a 2000-year-old parable involving a carpenter. This carpenter, according to the fable, left the building trades for a higher calling. It is believed that God put His essence into the person of this carpenter for the purpose of experiencing life in the flesh. In His human form, God presented all of humanity with various uncomfortable truths. Because these truths did not conform to preconceived beliefs, the flesh of the carpenter was destroyed. This work depicts what should have been the final moments of the flesh. The vulture on the mast of the cross is charged with the task of destroying the evidence. I will not reveal the end of the story because I don’t want to spoil it for those who have not read it but the moral of the parable is: While the proof may perish, the truth remains.

Cult artist, Quinn Stilletto represents perhaps the last of a vanishing breed of vagabond, renaissance artists. His work has surfaced and resurfaced throughout art circles in the Cleveland area for the past 30 years. Born in London, England, Stilletto, with his family, immigrated to America in the 1950s. Residing briefly in New York, they settled in Clevelands inner city toward the end of the decade. Stilletto was educated in the Cleveland Public School System and began his secondary education in pursuit of the priesthood. Following a series of unilateral decisions (none his own), Stilletto was redirected to liberal arts programs with an emphasis on religion and theology. During and after an extended academic career, culminating in the accumulation of over four hundred credit hours and some graduate work as well, Stilletto, as one of the founding fathers of the Cleveland Free Clinic, worked in several aspects of public health. Following his return from New York in 1980, Stillettos life was consumed by his passion for art, not only his own but, The Big Art, as he defines it. In his own words, Art is a language unto itself and every artist speaks it. It interrupts normal thought from hidden crevices of ones consciousness and continues to do so until acknowledged.Throughout his career in the arts, Stilletto has enjoyed the numerous and diverse adventures associated with a life less ordinary. He served on the Board of Directors of the Coventry Art Gallery and, in 1982, was design assistant for Giancarlo Menottis production of Amal and the Night Visitors. In 1993, with the cooperation of David Martin, former director of St. Augustine Manor, Stilletto created the Cleveland AIDS Memorial, also known as the Caritas Memorial Collection, in remembrance of members of the arts community who succumbed to the first wave of the epidemic. The permanent exhibit now contains more than 100 works of art donated by Cleveland artists as well as some nationally known individuals. A former substance abuser himself, Stillettos curatorial role was somewhat more than personal, the arts community has been decimated by the tragedy of AIDS. I have sustained personal losses. I hope those of us who have escaped will continue to work on behalf of those still afflicted. AIDS is still ultimately a fatal disease. Stilletto continues to serve as the collections curator.
