Mourning Moon – Nov 2020 ...

 

https://vimeo.com/486839119

This is the sound 
of paintings being made ...
ink splashing
aerosols spraying
razors scraping
paint being brushed – finessed
imbuing surfaces
with idea ...

Distinguishing tonalities
of time and place
harmonies of nature
discordance of social dis-ease
rhythms
melodies of environment
words drift
through prevailing winds ...

Beauty is beyond story
innate cognitions
born of genetic memory
congealed in syntax
that speaks
to what it is
to be human ...

Incidentals ...

 

INCIDENTAL No. 17,
ink and acrylic on canvas panel,
10"H x 8"W,   2016-18

INCIDENTAL No. 20,
ink and acrylic on canvas panel,
10"H x 8"W,   2016-18

INCIDENTALS are a series of twenty small paintings (8" x 10") completed over a period of two years.
They were worked on in Santa Monica, CA and Coffeetown, PA - 2016-18.

INCIDENTALS are a painted journal of explorations. Very often when I’m working on a series of paintings I discover different techniques that may not be appropriate for the series that’s being created. I catalogue these discoveries until its possible to express them under a general theme or proposition. Discovery leads to discoveries that inspire.

Art, like nature, is inclusive ...

Something about Crickets, movie – 2020 ...


https://vimeo.com/manage/455138099/general

Another compilation video - this is more of a social commentary purge to express  some of the pent-up frustrations which come from being too close to media sources during a global pandemic in the season of political saber-rattling.
A modal assembly of sound samples with the excellent live-sax work by Tom Bluder and keyboard tapestries by Tom Kort.
The majority of art was produced over the past few months of 2020 – with the debut of a few prophetic installations from the early 1980s – "A Road Not Often Traveled As Seen By One of Three Men In An Attitude of Terror, 1982". Cheltenham Arts Center, PA, Kling Gallery, Philadelphia., PA, Hudson Gallery, NYC - Albert Stirba III Collection; also, "Witness An Interrupted Kiss", 1984 installation from solo exhibition at Lehigh University Art Galleries, Bethlehem, PA
