About The Artwork
While on a break from covering the migrant crisis on the Mexican Border in Tijuana I took a walk through a street market. This Haitian woman was sitting in a vegetable stand shucking green beans. She had come to Tijuana with her children hoping to gain asylum in the United States. However when Trump was elected the asylum system was stopped and it became practically imposable for asylum seekers to be allowed to claim asylum, and it was even more difficult for a black person. This woman lives in a shelter and has found some work at this vegetable stand. The blue tarp, violate bags, green cilantro and crate of oranges swirl around the woman who sits for hours picking and pealing the green beans. Paper is 12x17 with a 1 inch border leaving the image at 10x15 inches. Signed and numbered in pencil in the lower margin. --- Mientras descansaba de cubrir la crisis migratoria en la frontera Mexicana en Tijuana, di un paseo por un mercado callejero. Esta mujer Haitiana estaba sentada en un puesto de verduras pelando ejotes. Ella había venido a Tijuana con sus hijos con la esperanza de obtener asilo en Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, cuando Trump fue elegido, el sistema de asilo se detuvo y se volvió prácticamente imposible solicitar asilo y fue aún más difícil para una persona negra. Esta mujer vive en un refugio y ha encontrado trabajo en este puesto de verduras. La lona azul, las bolsas de violetas, el cilantro verde y la caja de naranjas se arremolinan alrededor de la mujer que se sienta durante horas recogiendo y pelando los ejotes. El papel es de 12 x 17 con un borde de 1 pulgada que deja la imagen en 10 x 15 pulgadas. Firmado y numerado a lápiz en el margen inferior.

Hello, my name is Matthew Bowler. This is where I toot my own horn, so here goes. I am an Emmy award winning journalist in San Diego, California. I come from a long line of journalists but I do not have traditional broadcast beginnings. In college I studied art with a specialty in painting and printmaking. In my last year of college I got married and a year later moved to the South of France. While there, I participated in art exhibitions and was even written about in “La Marseillaise” weekly newspaper, in which they called my alternative process photography “les oeuvres impossible”, or “the impossible works”. After my year in Provence, I returned to San Diego and began to work as a freelance photographer. At that time most of my work was editorial photojournalism for newspapers and magazines. Some years later I transitioned into television news where I started as a video editor. I soon began working as a videographer. But I never lost my love for still photography.
