Do you like sleeping? I sure do. Besides looking at art, eating, and watching too much TV, sleeping is my favorite thing to do. I love to sleep! It’s a fact that healthy sleep helps to rejuvenate the mind and body, and is a key factor in a healthy lifestyle.

Ross Bleckner’s Count No Count (1989) is one of a series of memento mori paintings that the artist began to make in the mid-1980s. The suggestion of flickering lights in the work serves as a reminder to viewers of their own mortality, and for Bleckner — an AIDS activist — of the many lives lost to the AIDS epidemic. Bleckner engages both the formal and metaphorical qualities of light, yielding a work that shifts between abstraction and symbolic representation.
