throwing shadows

blue blue windows behind the stars
yellow moon on the rise
big birds flying across the sky
throwing shadows on our eyes


Hey buddha Lady

Maybe it looks like I might be going crazy.....Many things are at a very preliminary stage
Adding, subtracting, ripping off, gluing down, piling up


Still unpacking paintings
The studio below is looking like it might need some attention.....I'll get to it! Maybe it's time to start filming the process. Getting deep deep into detritus. words are about to emerge.
a repeat of the detritus....it doesn't matter that its the same photo, there are ten piles.
I used an entire bottle of indigo ink on the surface of this painting! then I flipped it over and dug through the cardbord...........hence the debri...It may become useful after it dries.I need more indigo.

making your own detritus creates quite a big mess in the studio

Paintings unpacked

these are the paintings from the last post, unpacked!!!!!!
the insides of things are much more interesting than their outer shell.
I think this is also true of people.......and maybe everything. Everything holds a history.
a container in the frig that's been in there for weeks.........An old woman in a home whose lost
her mind, a baby who is pre-memory. The history is there. Collected over the passing of time
whether not
yet remembered or forgotten.

Cloth, cloth, paper, paper, wax, wax, resin, resin! STOP using everything at once!

We Me Memory WE tore this apart at our first meeting.....now I can breathe
I met with my mentor for the first time.......revelation revolution!!!!!!!
As it turns out I have been making my own detritis

FAULTY DICTION


PHRASE

tough one to photo using my phone. Flour sack dish towel, human bondage ephemera, taped off oil paint, white out phrased, resin, indigo ink, milk wash glaze. Still tacky! I am in love with oil and water base relationships. They are somewhat predictable but not completely adamantly adverse about sharing a surface. This is also the case in nature. The recent disasters involving the extraction and the transport of oil on top of water have been devastating to the ecological environments above. Oil soaked birds and floating dead fish? I know that's just the tip of the devastation, but oil and water, good and evil, clean and dirty? one from the sky the other from the earth, heaven? hell? What am I talking about?
The continuing evolution of a pronoun
Waxing this one may have been going too far...but at least I recognize that!
PRONOUN
the last coat of india ink...I think i used the whole bottle, yum!
VERB or VERVE
Wheat pasted cardboard. taped off, graphite rubbed, verbs squared, wax coved resin....india ink....so reflective
today is tuesday. I am suppose to be prop shopping for a samsung shoot on thursday....I won't be here for the shoot because Miss Aris and myself will be headed to the big city tomorrow!!!!!! this is a collage I made which expresses our enthusiasm.The back of the pickup will be loaded with art! That's me drivin...i'm green. Aris is Blue and she's singin something queer by Hall and Oates. I know what our real colors are they are just not as affective here. Clear and Peach? And we won't be in an orange vintage pickup!
