Electric Energy: Connecting


The Flow of Energy in Life is my primary interest. Understanding the physics of it through Light, Color, Wind, Fire, Electrical Storms, Rainy and Sunny Days & Ocean Waves I find endlessly fascinating.
Time for me creating works of art opens up a dimension where I find myself contemplating the parallels of energy that animates our universe with the interactions between each of us and the people most closely interacting with my world.

Part of what I am doing now is taking notes... The subject matter is all over the place so I am just doing my best to capture thoughts as they present themselves. It reminds me of of Duchamp and his Green Box... A collection of thoughts on scraps of paper relating to The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even. The process is the same. We all do it when we think about our work... a sketch here, a note there, thoughts drifting through our minds at any time of the day or night relating to it. In time I will sort out what to do with them. For now it feels like I am out in a field trying to catch Butterflies and Grasshoppers to put in a jar... for my amusement, until I decide their fates.

I love it... and I can so relate.

Thanks... Somehow I knew you would. It is my favorite part about being an artist.
