Horatio

Horatio Hung-Yan Law moved to Portland after two years with me on McPherson and started making Public Art. Tom Howe took this picture of his installation "Velosaurus" at the Powell 17th Ave Underpass at dusk. He figured there's about a one-minute window where all four panels were completely lit by sunlight.

Ho is one of the funniest men I know. I thought of him as Ratio. He tried to teach me how to say his Chinese name, Hung-Yan. I stumbled. Christian, he said, Just call me Hung.
One day he asked, Christian! Do we have any good mails today?
Ho, I replied, Mail is singluar.
Oh yeah, he said, My students always get on my butts for that....hey, don't make fun of my Chinglish!
Your chinglish is fine! It's your English that is hilarious.

Hung is a love.
