Description

LIFE CYCLES No. 2 - a companion piece, was hand drawn with pen and ink here in my studio inAsheville, N.C. I used a combination of watercolor and acrylic to add to the "zest" of this image.I then worked in digital layers--a surprising unfolding of the image --into this digital rendering where bits of brilliant pink insinuate an emotive element is about to arrive--

NEUROGRAPHIC ART--"Also known as doodling, neurographic art is a technique, which comprises drawing freeform lines or 'neuro lines. ' These are meant to enable the connection between the conscious and unconscious, gaining access to the inner self by using a specific algorithm or method.":


LIFE CYCLES --For any number of people, as we think about the cycles in life, we come to see in a new way. This neurographic rendition provided that experience --immediately--and, in that way was therapeutic. The process felt like a welcome form of self-care.

"We all know the feeling of losing track of time when we enter into our creative flow state. t. One approach to try is through Neurographic art. This process is rooted in psychology and has ties to meditative practices" ~ Abby Schukei

As always, my theme is lyrical abstraction--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 –first, from a sketch-- then to watercolor and/or acrylic on paper or canvas --then, photographed and digitally rendered.

THEME:: Cycles in Nature and Landscapes

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 exploring the many cycles we --and all on Earth--experience -- so it is a visual metaphor for life as we know it. It symbolizes engagement and possible joie de vivre.

MEDIA:: 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.



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.
