Well, I cant believe its been this long since I last blogged. Easter it was, and now here we are at Spring Bank Holiday, the penultimate day (to be precise as I type this) of May, with the ultimate day being not just a bank holiday but also My Birthday! The whole nation is celebrating me running out of time. How nice of you all. And just to celebrate I thought I would post a couple of pics of my latest artworks and a couple of the KLA studio where Maggie and Rikke have co-curated works of the group around the place. So, here we go;
Ive sort of returned to the idea I had in 2007 that I didnt want a top or bottom to the paintings as they werent telling a narrative tale. I have been attempting to recreate my meditative visions, sometimes resorting to re-using older images to represent my imaginings, or sometimes simply because those images did actually make an appearance in my vision-quests.
This one is called, I think, "The Repetitive Echoes of Karma".
This mostly black and white painting is my latest, which I think is completed but I cant be sure. It represents partly something that used to happen to me in my bed as a child. A vortex seemed to want to suck me in and all these faces and people would appear on the periphery.I didnt like it and would force myself not to get sucked down into the vortex. This painting did the same thing whilst I was comtemplating it. A funny feeling. Imagination? Maybe, but often imagination is more real than that which we term "real". I think this is titled: " Constellations of Inner Space Partly Bordered by Repetitive Karma".
The last one, with the clock (it isnt art.........but it could be) is my space. Not officially part of the curating, I just decided to hang these as there was a big meeting of important arts people in the building and I know they were given a tour as part of their meeting.
I believe Im right in calling the group that used the KLA as a venue the East Midlands Visual Arts Group. Or something very similar anyway.
Anyway, off to bed now in order to wake up as a young 54 year old. I think a picnic might be in order. I would invite you but alas, I still havent decided where to go. Rutland Water perhaps. See you later then.
Love all and hurt none. Let your thoughts create your future.
