When I first started writing for Art as Authority four years ago, it looked like a serious attempt to bring intelligent and committed criticism to the San Diego art community.

But as is evident to anyone who's read this publication in the past 18 months or so, the editorial ambience has grown progressively more toxic, so I'm out of here.

I plan to continue writing art reviews, but will be sending them to Andrews Arts, if they'll have me.

Life's too short for negative rhetoric.
