—-> I recently found my self within proximity of things I had not known much about. Quickly finding it to be another example of nature & the ways in which it integrates information.
—-> Pearls.
Specifically South Sea & Tahitian pearls.

Pearls seem to have a sort- of- sea- / environmental- test strip -type characteristic. Maybe a variation of rings on a tree? , .. they all can tell stories. We just need to learn their language..
Tides, food, over population, under population, generations, temperature all pass through & leave influence in the growth of pearls individually & collectively.

…Thinking forward. —–+—+–>

⇤ With an sense of mission
All online inquiries ended quietly. Auto-returns were coming back on emails more often than not.
Once on the land, the narrative was equally unexpected.
Store fronts / last known address’ were empty, gone, as if the tide of industry came & went. Phone lines dead or not who it’s supposed to be. Being under the wing of someone who also speaks fluent native tongue didn’t even save us.
Pearls from the area were something that a decade ago was actually being promoted as “come to the farms, tour, talk and possibly purchase.” kind of tourism.

With not even a starting point of contact, the South Sea pearls actually came down to the last 2/3 hours i was in Indonesia (& physically sent weeks later). Literally in the car on the way to the airport .
Before then we eventually did find & return with many grams of fun shaped freshwater pearls. All have a glow that will be great to work with.

South Sea Treasures

It all came to crossing paths with someone whom you’ve seem to have known for awhile. Rekindling & continuing these old unions.

Some things have a pace that we’ve begun to forgotten about.
In times of two day shipping and finding anything and everything through endless possibilities of scrolling on the internet. More often then not it seems to come down to us starting a conversation with new people.
Our stories are powerful.

I’m looking forward to building up (work) to & harmonizing the pearls with silver.

see you soon Bali family

Shifting from painting, water colors & all the other forms of past creativity. I spent the last several weeks building more “future tech”.

—->_ future.tech_ : (N) [?] – prototypes of creations that are there to influence the makers and do-ers of the world. Hopefully those younger than the theorist.

This time : prototype “500block wormhole giga fiber upgrades.”
– a “device” that would allow me to go from the 500 block at 18421 zip code to the 500 block of the 18431 zip code. (a mire 18miles [~30km] from each other )

Dissecting soldering \ hard wiring & pushing the limits of what they say is “buy a roll or 4 of lighting & several packets of FSJEE 2pin connectors to create endless professional results.”

Originally I wanted to buy a “chandelier” pre-made and ready to go. But unsure of the the life span of encapsulated LED’s (as I was just burnt on purchasing a kitchen LED light fixture. A 10year non serviceable fixture burnt out in less than two, I wondered what was the life span of this chandelier ? & CAN I REPLACE COMPONENTS ? ) And for 20% or so more I could buy the supplies with KNOWN higher quality components & assemble / construct something several factors larger myself to shapes formed from Imagination.

[ in hindsight, it was a lot more work. corrections. hacking than expected on initial inquiry. But I don’t think i would re do it in any other way. ..
well maybe with a little less stringent timeline for completion.]

The result was 10 individual & completely re configurable independent led structures. One configuration : sets of 3/4 stacked vertically to make a “chandelier”, the other was a long row 4ft x 12ft [1.25m x 3m] to make a “canopy” of fractal LED’s.

woah,
3 posts this month & its only week two.
I must be busy,

or
my love hate relationship with social media is more complicated than ever.

—______–_–______-_____________________________

I collect & reuse varieties of salts that interact with my watercolors. Like minded color schemes live on within each other. These remains become the next for future works. We build upon our pasts & those salvaged remains become something they never could have individually on either side of the before or after.

may.9.2019

Im excited to share that several new works with you here & will be on display from May 11- June 22 at Bohdi Tree in Honesdale PA/.

These studies turned into a development of pursuit & technical refinement.
With the idea of really focusing on [teqnique].
In this case it was the addition of one step in the what used to be.
that added an unseen level of clarity in the overall piece.

“We just upgraded our perspective lenses.”
I look forward to the works ahead.

These particular pieces are apart of Honesdale’s “Second Saturday” [every 2nd sat of the month —> we come together to take to the streets.
so join us on either May’s second saturday [ may 11th ] or June’s [ june 8th ] between 6pm & 9pm.

This months edition of second saturday lines up with another Honesdale artistic venture_personal_.365day_advert. <TheGreatWallOfHonesdale.

This particular spring you will be seeing the development of new plant species grow within this digital arboretum.

Like most this growth happens slowly & abruptly all at the same time. Resulting in some of the most unique configurations within specimens on this great lush marble we call home.

Talk to you soon,

we <3 you California. Thank you for the much needed time to wonder.

 

 






After exploring and wondering through foreign yet familiar places I’m excited to compose new watercolor / gouache works surrounding these natural color compositions… Smaller canvas never found their place among everything, now we work with select papers & technique . leaving canvas’ to a slowly evolving larger format. A form where I can work out a specific dialog that is the equivalent of long format conversation.

See you soon

I recently spent the month of September in downtown Honesdale, arriving through vacant office space. working on adding some paint to the downtown skyline.
This all came together with the help of Canaltown , The Honesdale Loft, forgotabout K & The Jadwin associates. I’ve wanted to evolve what started on canvas to the public space, and with these people I was able to do so with no constraints, no grants, no scaffold & no machinery. Just neighbors working together because of one’s playing matchmaker, some great onsite support & my extendable paint roller.

A funny thing happens when you change / merge the direction of traffic through a town. New rules of the road, new routines for foot traffic, less looking both ways before crossing & all of a sudden drivers have less places to look at while passing by. In our case southern facing walls become something now only seen by being on the streets or in our rear view mirrors. Funny thing is there’s a part of our society that hides in these shadowy rear view mirrors. Ones hiding within the darkness of these flowers. Poppy flowers. Opium creators. Things we know and agree on but aren’t talking about. Pharmaceutical formulas & how they behave with us, becoming blanket statements that we need to fine tune. I never want to see these taken from us. Maybe it’s not the plants, but us who are not using them correctly.. .

These are moments I will fight to never forget. It was great to get out of the terracotta castle I work in & spend some time on the rooftops in downtown Honesdale.

Between worlds: lions gate

Nearly four years ago I began a two piece canvas painting at an unprecedented size. 7.ft x 14.ft
Fresh off a single 7ft x 7ft canvas, I wanted to feel what one image spanning two full size canvas’ would end up looking like.
These were uncharted creative waters.

It’s been years of love and confusion on this one,
As you walk around it you visually feel a motion. a pulling
the focusing of an un-rendered end.
Fragmented perceptions  /  layers

There were times these hid behind file cabinets.
Covered with drop cloths for seasons.

With no predisposed endpoint, the pace of development was one about inquisition  /  methods  /  materials  /  & multiple pieces acting as a whole.


aprox 7.ft x 14.ft canvas. [  2[7×7] ]
Aerosol, acrylic, metallic paint, paint pens & ink on 14.oz canvas.

[still tacked on to studio wall  /  un-streched ]

final layer of clear coat was applied August 12th, 2018.
Beginning in and ending within the annual solar cycle of our sun aligning with an even larger star; Sirius. One from the edge of the milky way.
While not knowing much more than a final push to wrap this project up, feels / looks right, and all the planetary thought comes to mind in hindsight.
