Description

FRIDAY’S STAIRS.

"Friday Stairs" actually started as a painting on canvas, It was HUGE. Like taller than my best friend and almost as wide. It is one of the original canvases from the “metaphorms” series inspire by Todd Siler. I painted it while living on an island in the Pacific Northwest. I titled it in honor of Friday Harbor, WA where this canvas was created.

The circular stairs with steps into the clouds have particular meaning and symbolism. The muted colors (except for the “uplifting” stairs) and brush strokes are in the post painterly/modern contemporary/abstract expressionist style. In other words, this piece was inspired by many wonderful artists.

Luckily, this canvas was photographed for my website, for it vanished one day and seems to be lost forever. Now it can be found by YOU (((*:*)) Here it is in digital paintography from that large canvas.

THEME AND SYMBOLISM:: In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of color with changing light symbolizes positive change through envisioning creative perspectives. Here the story of longing for connection highlights an impetus for change with compassion. This is a theme that runs through what I paint on canvas, or on paper, or in a digital way.


BACK-STORY: : I create visual narratives from what is around me- make sketches into canvas work, then take a photo creating a mixed media digital rendering such as what you see in this piece. I reach out for the story and metaphor in a visual narrative via texture, patterns, repetition that meet in a feeling of lyrical abstraction. These elements offer a sense of coming together - a collection of concepts and forms that take shape.

METHOD:: Modern Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Narrative, and Digital Paintography with a Twist. Look for interpretations of outer/inner landscapes with a persistent focus on patterns and bold or unusual color. Photo and digital manipulation mostly NOT an accurate interpretation, seek to explore the essence of the subject. I move shapes, colors, forms, textures, layering and the overall gestalt to achieve an effect. Expect glimpses of reality from unusual perspectives. Image-making prompted by nature.
