Time, Present, Past, Future, The Muse Speaks

by // 2 Comments

NewLondonAmtrak.D-58-09-12New London Amtrak and the a vision of the port cities growth. Drawn visually  to the water, mobility and abstraction. Glancing into the crystal ball of time I ponder past and present and toss them into the blender of the future? What comes next, “something always comes next the muse told me.” But what is it I wonder what is this future that is tweeted, blogged, televised and spun out to you by millions of pundits, politicians, artists and average people all speaking the “truth.” Is it all in the next best greatest “I” device and the debt and waste you accumulate with each upgrade or is it simpler? A step back to paper and pencil to two way conversation and compassion. Time as it waits for no man will provide an answer. With luck you’ll get the tweet for as she said something always comes next. enjoy pjc

Old Roads, The Game seven years past.

“Game, Revelation, Obsession,”
Part Art, Part Mathematics, Part Psychology.
Or The Game as we who were involved called it.


ArtSpace Norwich July 2002

Youth and summer abound as I settle into this new road of creativity. Moments dance before me from sibling showers to “Game, Revelation, Obsession” presented by Mike Galaburri. Perhaps or in my mind the closest this new venue came to being a community.

Seven years on this road, now an old road populated with thousands of film images. Traditional film images. Cluttered files of unseen work as the picelated populous opens the darkroom door and the dark escapes.

All three images are made with film the dance image altered to a new road with post production.

Old Roads

Old Roads appear only on maps
Old Roads appear only in memory
Old Roads widened repaved
Old roads now impassible
Old roads will I travel them?
Old roads a final exploration, portfolio
Old roads a new found vision
Old roads meant to fade away.

Color abstraction movement, fabric, figures.

As spring approaches I have been looking back on old roads, traveling down paths taken before and seeing again the change and similarity. Many of these roads are roads and many are ideas creative portfolios of images and words. Delving into past thoughts and redefining the direction of reality and abstraction. These two images done recently, the top one done Thursday are new looks at surreal movement. The portfolio started in the 80s [about 150 images] and has been worked on a little here and a little there since then. There are a couple on my site in the “My Transparent Life” section where the dancer flowed through space as a solid form. The new work is merging the this figure into the space combining the figure and the environment in a solar system of moving color.

Old Roads Appear only on Maps!

Old roads appear only in memory
Old roads widened, repaved
Old roads now impassable
Old roads will I travel them again?
Old roads a final exploration, portfolio
Old roads a new found vision
Old roads meant to fade away.
