Well, hello it's been awhile. It's the fault of canvas curing. I had to work on the other side of this exhibition, The Mysteries. Everything is loosely titled at this point but I need a way to identify the work. The Mysteries are a group of paintings that are beginning backwards. I am allowing spontaneity to move the painting forward rather than having a definitive idea. A photographic image may attract me, lately the images have involved billowing clothes, the painting is only influenced by the photograph then I give the image what it calls forth. There is a strong subconscious desire to incorporate a symbolic structure allowing the meaning to remain a mystery until the piece is finished and/or beyond finishing. I'm moving between worlds in my approach to this body of work. The Shaman would say a foot in each universe. One foot firmly planted in the perspective of now. Our physical forms, what we can hold, see, hear, feel, smell and taste. Our relationship to objects and how that relationship places us in the world. The other foot in the void of our connectedness through symbolism and the subconscious. Our Beliefs, Our Mythologies, Our Cultures and Our Heart's Desire. How can these images even be manifest in the physical world you ask... I don't know. I'm just letting it happen. Will it all make sense in December when the show goes up? I don't know. Does it have to? CommentsLeave a Reply |
