NOTE:

The color of the GRACE series cannot be translated digitally.

X

Like all of my art,

the experience is only known with an actual experience.

X

The color is custom and arrived after intensive experimentation

to resonate with the sonics/vibration

of the color

with the hue in my imagination.

X

The color is a blush, an orchid blue

 which oscillates,

slowly and suddenly,

from the full color

to white

depending on the ambient light

and

the position of the viewer.

X

Dynamic attending likened to

intentional open hearted

listening

to an improvisational solo cello performance

– the spaces are the silent intervals.

Meditative.

Serene.

Hushed.

Quiet.

 Whispering.

Intimate.

Loving.

Eternal.

Visceral.

Sweet rapture.

X

The text is inscribed in graphite,

and washed over with paint

quieting its voice to a sweet whisper.

The second part of the text:

I AM YOUR GRACE

is inscribed

and

is visible when one attends carefully

– echoing the lower circle

– a hovering cycling circle.

Whispers whispering…

X

X

X

THE GRACE SERIES IS A COUNTERACTION

TO THE CONSTANT BOMBASTIC BARRAGE

DEAFENING OUR NATION’S /WORLD’S

SENSES SINCE NOVEMBER 2016.

ART HAS THE CAPACITY TO CAUSE THE SUBLIME.

DONALD TRUMP’S DESPICABLE WORDS 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2017/08/14/donald-trumps-despicable-words/?utm_term=.b20d4324e166#comments

“…Here we are in the year of our lord 2017

and

the president of the United States lacks the moral courage

to condemn Nazis and white supremacists.

And they are not even making it difficult.

They are saluting like Nazis

and

waving Nazi flags

and

chanting like Nazis

and

spewing hatred like Nazis.

Maya Angelou was not wrong.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Especially if what that person is telling you is “I am a Nazi.”

Barely, after two days,

he has managed to mumble that their ideology

has (should have) no place in our society.

Silence sells hats, I guess…

X

…At some point you have to judge more than just the act of fighting.

You have to judge what the fighting is for.

Some principles are worth fighting for, and others are not.

Certain truths used to be self-evident,

to quote a man whose words were often better than he was.

But to Trump, they aren’t.

Trump’s words are no better than he is.

They are terrible words.

They are the worst words.”

“Scott LaFaro, The Short Life of a Master Bassist”

http://nepr.net/post/scott-lafaro-short-life-master-bassist#stream/0

 

“…In a December 29, 1960 letter addressed to his lover Gloria Gabriel,

the dancer to whom he dedicated “Gloria’s Step,”

Scott LaFaro wrote:

X

“One important thing is that I realize day by day

the true artist and musician is becoming

more and more meaningless in terms of public comprehension.

This brings about the situation of whether

I should spend these hours and months

developing what I seem to be able to foresee,

or should I dump it

and

get another job as an entertainer again.

My day consists of such a singular preoccupation

—the physicology of music.

I’m in the position of having nothing

you can put your finger on for sale.”

BEAUTIFUL + TRUE NORTH INTEGRITY

X

Once an artist barrels their art

down the mercantile waterfall,

the integrity

of their unrepeatable/unique/sacred vision is shattered.

Water FALLS.

X

WATERFALLS,

for artists,

are a metaphor of risk,

a willingness to trust the FLOW,

knowing the magnitude of the force is SACRED,

and

the FORTITUDE + COURAGE

to dive/soar/break

into a NEW river,

an unknown vision/frontier,

and

uncharted visions

is

REQUISITE!

“We must become bigger than we have been:

FEAR + COURAGE

“Courage is not the absence of fear,

but rather the assessment that something else

is more important than fear.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear,

but the triumph over it.

The brave wo/ man is not s/he who does not feel afraid,

but s/he who conquers that fear.“

Nelson Mandela

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,

while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

Lao Tzu

X

“You may not always have a comfortable life

and

you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once

but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have

because history has shown us

that courage can be contagious

and

hope can take on a life of its own.”

Michelle Obama

X

“Your time is limited,

so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Don’t be trapped by dogma

– which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most important,

have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.“

Steve Jobs

X

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues,

because without courage

you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.

You can practice any virtue erratically,

but nothing consistently without courage.“

Maya Angelou

X

“Courage is an inner resolution

to go forward

despite obstacles;

Cowardice

is submissive surrender

to circumstances.

Courage breeds creativity;

Cowardice represses fear and is mastered by it.“

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

X

“The ultimate measure of a wo/man

is not where s/he stands

in moments

of comfort and convenience,

challenge and controversy.”

 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

X

Improvisation is the art of the unexpected. 

It teaches us how to take risks

and

to respond confidently

in the moment

to whatever happens.

X

The improviser develops a mindset

that  includes

curiosity,

high stakes listening,

flexibility,

and

the desire to build strong relationships.

Resilience is key.

FEAR + CREATIVITY

X

http://www.forbes.com/sites/work-in-progress/2011/01/07/fear-of-success-and-what-we-learn-from-improv-actors/#7a2d45f613f0

https://hbr.org/1998/09/how-to-kill-creativity

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/09/transcending-fear-in-the-creative-process-5-timeless-insights/244922/

“The empty space is the great horror and stimulant of creation. But there is also something predictable in the way the fear and apathy encountered at the beginning are accountable for feelings of elation at the end. These intensities of the creative process can stimulate desires of consistency and control, but history affirms that few transformative experiences are generated by regularity.

When asked for advice on painting, Claude Monet told people not to fear mistakes. The discipline of art requires constant experimentation, wherein errors are harbingers of original ideas because they introduce new directions for expression. The mistake is outside the intended course of action, and it may present something that we never saw before, something unexpected and contradictory, something that may be put to use.”

X

X

“Human freedom involves our capacity to pause between the stimulus and response and, in that pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight. The capacity to create ourselves, based upon this freedom, is inseparable from consciousness or self-awareness.” 

Rollo May “COURAGE TO CREATE”

X

“Creative people, as I see them, are distinguished by the fact that they can live with anxiety, even though a high price may be paid in terms of insecurity, sensitivity, and defenselessness for the gift of the “divine madness,” to borrow the term used by the classical Greeks. They do not run away from non-being, but by encountering and wrestling with it, force it to produce being. They knock on silence for an answering music; they pursue meaninglessness until they can force it to mean.”

Rollo May “COURAGE TO CREATE”

MoMA Responds To Travel Ban

by installing

Muslim-Nation Art

On Its Walls

The seven works now on view at the New York museum include pieces by painter Ibrahim el-Salahi (Sudan), sculptor Parviz Tanavoli (Iran), painter Tala Madani (Iran), architect Zaha Hadid (Iraq), painter Charles Hossein Zenderoudi (Iran), photographer Shirana Shahbazi (Iran), and painter Marcos Grigorian (Russia, of Persian descent). 

The artworks were installed in MoMA’s fifth floor galleries on Thursday night, replacing seven artworks by Western artists like Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Placards next to each work read:

This work is by an artist from a nation whose citizens are being denied entry into the United States, according to a presidential executive order issued on Jan. 27, 2017. This is one of several such artworks from the Museum’s collection installed throughout the fifth-floor galleries to affirm the ideals of welcome and freedom as vital to this Museum as they are to the United States.

RESURRECTION / EXODUS                                              Catherine L. Johnson  1996

The paintings were commissioned for the USA headquarters of Holtkoetter,

a German manufacturer of chandeliers.

X

To align my creative dive for the pearl,

I asked the President of Holkoetter, a German, to provide me HIS vision.

X

He sang the Hallelujah Chorus from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony

– in German.

It was an extraordinary moment,

I knew what had to be drawn from me:

boundless LIGHT breaking through darkness.

X

I prepared myself like an Olympian,

and

dove deep from the high board

into the sea of my imagination

– where the light of Divinity resides.

X

I aligned all my molecular/cellular energies,

listening and following/listening and following

– and the creation of the original paintings was an act of COURAGE

– improvised.

When the paintings were complete- THEY exhaled.

They were now A/LIVE.

X

I was Divinity’s sacred instrument and faithful vehicle.

COURAGE

FREEDOM

JOY

SACRED HOPE
