“Undaunted” is a good term to describe Robert Comings, who throughout his life has taken difficult and sometimes challenging circumstances and turned them into life-affirming events as well as fodder for his art. One of the most pivotal of these moments was Comings’s master’s degree review at San Francisco State College in 1966. His thesis project consisted of a series of rituals; his review committee responded by telling him that religion and art don’t mix. Comings says of the experience, “This made me begin thinking of my work as a religious experience, rather than as a commercial or art experience.”
