sometimes art is what it is
CLAIRVOYANCE
Not all art is a pretty picture.
Art is created with various pigments, oxides, ephemera, found objects
on various surfaces
with brushes, palette knives, pencils, pens, fingers, glue, wood blocks . . .
cameras . . . computers . . . clay . . . you name it!
This *visual journaling* piece combines 2 different shots
from a printmaker's shelf to a grafitti artist's wall . . .
Calligraphically, it appeals to me!
Metaphorically, it has helped me process some writing
which has been on the wall, but not honestly addressed.
“I feel that art can have a message, can provoke and still be beautiful.
I use texture and iridescent pigments,
which remind me of the sparkle of broken glass
and the rainbow in oil and gas spills.”
~ Janet Culbertson ~
"The guest at the lower end of the middle couch,
with three hairs on his bald head
and his scalp streaked with pigment,
who is digging in his big mouth with a toothpick,
is a fraud, Aefulanus, He has no teeth.”
~ Marcus Aurelius ~
