From the phantom tables
and vanished walls
a cloud of light
and thunder of shadow
the foundation is lost .
I still glimpse an inkling of
cold geometry and
wooden truth;
but the glue of substance
drips like echoes of brevity. . .
I witness
and no longer
participate.
Barely objective, as I started to question the boundaries between ‘self’ and ‘other’ in my life.
The point of the painting goes beyond these reflections, it is just there, the colors, the lines, the shapes, the non-evident meaning.
A night becomes clouded as we sometimes say ‘things happen’ abstractly, indifferently that it is suddenly August 2009 a veil of intellectualism is lifted a human face looks up mine, yours, whatever there are clouds, ideas, philosophies up there we look down, you, me, whatever barren reality wooden window frames dusty desks, unsharpened pencils feeble light, organic darkness you see the dark it doesn’t have a name then there is real silence scattered coins uncharged cell phones a sleeping wife that it hits you, me, what you will it is August 13th 2009 what a feeling.
One more. Paint is thick and with deep furrows, not really appreciated here in this pic.
Barely Abstract, because who could really tell?
