Black is associated with power;
elegance; formality and mystery.
X
Black denotes strength and authority;
it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color.
X
In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.
X
Black was one of the first colors used by artists
in neolithic cave paintings.

Yellow is a symbolic color that brings joy and delight.
The third chakra, located at the solar plexis,
is said to be yellow.
X
The
“solar plexis”
is associated with the power of the sun (solar-sun).
Yellow, then, is associated with positive thinking.
X
The solar plexis is where we/I gather
y/our/ my courage
and
y/our/ my will power.

The yellow color I selected for
BLACKMOVESYELLOW
series shifts suddenly, and slowly,
the color vacillates from gold to citron
depending on the source/ intensity of the ambient light
and the position of the viewer to the work.
My art needs an actual encounter.
It IS a performance that needs to be witnessed/ experienced.
X
I mixed several variations of yellow like a sound engineer working with a sonic.
Refining.
Refining.
Discerning.
Refining.
Discerning.
Touchstone.
X
My art is silent sonics.
You listen to it with attentive, receptive open palms.
The space is the silence between the notes.
X
Each painting is a composition of disparate parts:
filmic + sonic + poetic.
X
The line quality resonates with rené marie’s
flowing/ deepening sonic grace of her voice.

rené marie and her band improvised on my writings when she was @ the Dakota.
Astounding.

Then there is Charles Lloyd’s sonics:
a testament of the presence of the sacred.
X
I listened to Charles’
WILD MAN DANCE
as I worked in the studio over and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over…
X
Charles’ art is always a revelation,
a harkening of ALL that is only visible
to the heart, by/ for the beloved
and calls out what is luminous in y/our my soul.
X
His sonics are one continuous river of reverence.
Blessing the wild.
Blessings of the serene.
Blessed are the explorers who listen to the Oracle of Delphi and hold a divining rod.
