In the 1980’s, I started to sign my visual art as “Maugre.” It’s a combination between the first three letters of my first name and of my last name.
I later found out it was an actual word. My favorite meaning: “…to withstand in a defiant manner.”
When I showed my work in France in 1996, they gave me an accent to put over the “e” in Maugre.
A year ago, a large archival site of my work came up. It’s sponsored by my dayjob: the library of the University of Detroit Mercy.
