Description

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT is lyrical abstraction--an eclectic collage-- fusion art, mixed media, simultaneously sparse and exciting because it combines textures and shapes of recognizable objects into patterns that spark the imagination.

It is an effort visually to narrate the place --beyond time -- where an angular abstract landscape can harmonize with the curving natural and logic meets emotion --in the space of possibility. Although it came together in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina, it started –first, from a sketch-- then to acrylic on canvas --then, photographed and digitally rendered.

THEME:: Inner Landscapes

Landscapes --including inner landscapes--are the inspiration for much of my work. There is a never-ending challenge to bring together inner-outer-natural- abstract into an eclectic-mixedmedia collage--(slices carved from my original art in a collage, digitally-rendered.) I am looking for the blended elements, both abstract and organic to 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.

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT: "When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. ~Wendelll Berry

So, this is a story with a "pink-hued h emotive content. Hopefully it offers an opportunity for the viewer to interpret the story being told, and thus add to the story. Whether as a digital abstractionist, working as well on canvas and with photography to produce mixed media images, my hope is to engage the person who is looking at the image.

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.

MORE ABOUT THE ECLECTIC MIXEDMEDIA,FUSION ART PROCESS ::

My images come from a collaborative process where I use traditional tools (bruses, paints,canvas) then explore digital renderin g that features many, many, many layers blended as "pasted effects." I turn to pattern, texture, and light in the process.

I am looking for a visual narrative about life on our blue planet that welcomes your interpretation.
