Description

ASHEVILLE- TUBING THE RIVER

I am here in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina-- where the sentinel peaks of The Blue Ridge Mountains overlook the confluence of the French Broad river (racing north) and the Swannanoa (flowing west) -- feeling inspired.

The clouds surround the studio this early morning. The temperate rainforest is speaking--calling me to walk the trails, travel the mountain coves, follow those rivers to creeks and waterfalls and stretch up to where the tall hemlocks live--and share the images nature provides.

This is about LETTING GO and going with the flow ...as the person at the bottom right might suggest! m(((*>*))

Here, from one of my canvases (acrylic) -- I borrow bits --then add more from a photo I took of one Asheville scene. I converted this all on canvas (accentuated with ink) to create a mixed media collage.

Another photo of that collage then came to Photoshop for digital manipulations (100s of layers) and rendering.

Here is lyrical abstraction-- a fusion-collage-- simultaneously sparse and ( I hope) exciting. It is my effort to visually narrate the point where logic meets emotion. In that place, change with compassion can happen.

THEME:: Landscapes

Landscapes (inner and outer) offer the opportunity to bring together slices of my original art in a collage, digitally-rendered. Blended elements, both abstract and organic, become a “fusion” lyrically abstracted and ripe for story telling.

In this case, the narrative is about facing challenges-- a visual metaphor for life as we know it. It symbolizes engagement and possible joie de vivre.

MEDIA:: Again, this is an example of my process: Sketch for composition to canvas and/or paper, sometimes, oil pastels, sometimes acrylic paint. The result then captured as a photo and brought to create a JPEG. Finally, digital layering of the original materials.

Objective:: Narrative art with emotive content- that offers an opportunity for the viewer to interpret the story being told, and thus add to the story. (Some are inner landscapes.) Whether as a digital abstractionist, working as well on canvas and with photography to produce mixed media images, my hope is to engage the viewer.

Symbolism :: Ever a sense of joy of life, transitions, new perceptions that evoke positive change, the embracing of an inner - symbolic-mythic- visual landscape that can reveal how disparate parts work together when visual impressions, founded on simple or more complex designs, build on a promising tale of life on Earth.
