My previous few postings have been created with my Samsung Galaxy's Multiple Exposure function with minimal processing in PS Express.
Every night I curl up beneath a quilt my Great-grandmother made out of scraps from quilts she made to sell and leftovers from dresses she made for my Mom and Aunt. She was known for her prickly humor and her hand-rolled, Prince Albert cigarettes that would hang between her fingers with a precarious load of ash. I have a smock she wore around the house that sports multiple burn holes.
I corresponded with her for a number of years when my boys were young. Her example and encouragement for simplicity continue to be a part of my daily life and art.
Now, as a Great-grandmother myself, I strive to nurture a creative mindset in my grandchildren. It's their turn to giggle and make fun of my oddities.
Prior to March 2020, I used to jump in the car whenever I caught a case of wanderlust, but now along with a weather check, I have to add considerations for case counts if I'm venturing farther afield than my gas tank's round-trip capacity (which I'm still not doing currently) and whether or not large swarms of ATVs may be in the vicinity I wish to visit. I also have to add a mask, hand sanitizer, and a heightened sense of wariness to my gear bag. I find, though, that these restrictions and limitations cause me to search for different ways of seeing the same things, even if it's just a 10-minute drive to a waterfall shooting out of an old culvert.
My photographic interpretation of the recent minimalist work by the new generation of Black painters that are pushing the boundaries of abstract art. This particular photograph is a combined and layered homage to Rashid Johnson’s “Cosmic Slop ‘Black Orpheus’” (2011) and to Mark Bradford’s “Q3” (2020) from his “Quarantine Paintings” that utilizes agitated-looking layers of sanded paint and paper to represent a topographical map of isolation.
This photo was taken from a section of the front of a shut-down local shop, a casualty of the pandemic. The storefront was used by street artists who added layers upon layers of colorful posters and stickers during the pandemic to eventually all be painted over by a shroud of black paint. Glimpses of those colorful mosaics can still be seen just a layer under the black paint.

I went to a concert on Friday at the @krannertcenter where WILD UP, a NYC based, 15-member ensemble, performed Julius Eastman's FEMENINE. I had not heard of @wildup or Eastman prior to the performance, but a googling promised an alternative classical evening.
I find it difficult to describe the evening in a concise manner that truly conveys the experience, other than my first impression when the group set aside their instruments and bowed. I felt as if I'd been drawn and colored into an auditory abstract painting.
