Southern Artist Review
2011 - Thematic Variations - Studies - Set I
World Population Will Increase By 50 Percent By 2050...........(From 6.1 Billion Today To 9.2
Billion)...........Enough Said
Songs Without Words
If You Could For A Moment Assume The Role Of Nature, How Would You View Yourself As An Individual
Within A Species?........How Would You View Yourself As A Unique "Person"?.......Then Again, Such Questions Would Have No
Relevance If One Is A Part Of Nature...........Their Relevance Applies Only When One Is Apart
Nearly Half Of Asia's 1.27 Billion Children Live In Poverty(Recent
Report)........Lack Of Food, Safe Drinking Water, Health And Shelter.......Innocent Children, Just Like That Child You Send
Off To School Every Day
A Simple Form.............Undulating Patterns......Rather Like
The Light And Dark Patterns At The Bottom Of A Shallow Sea....And, Importantly, A Simple Exercise In Recovery
Quickly, Glance Back.............But Do Not Be Misled By The
Lure Of Its Silent, Unchanging Tenure..........................Be Brief
Southern Abstract Artist
Perhaps The Myths Of The Ancients Were Closer To Reality Than The Present Ones
If You Could Read A Report Of Your Own Death And The Circumstances
Causing That Death, Would You Do So?.........That One Could Go Either Way, Couldn't It?.........But What If, If In That Report
Was Contained A Remedy, Cure, Or Action You Could Take To Stop That Death?......Unanimity There To Be Sure......Everyone Would........Please,
Please Educate Yourself On The Plight Of This Planet........All The Environmental Reports You Need Are Right There At You
Fingertips.......(Wouldn't Hurt If You Spent Some Time In Nature Too--Many Answers There)........You Literally Will Be Saving
Yourself Through Self Education, For The Answers Are Contained Therein...............We Are Fast Becoming A Threatened Species..........With
Education And Awareness, You Will Be Saving Yourself And Your Species From An Oblivion That Easily Could Be Avoided
Simple Excursions Into Design, Layout, Form, Technique(And
All That Other Stuff).........You Know................."The Thing Is The Thing Itself"........"What You See Is What You See"...........You
Know..................DoDa......You Know
So, It Was A Reasonably Solid Month As Far As Development Of Imagery(As Well As Myself)...............A
Few Bumps And Bruises Along The Way..............The Usual Stuff......Chasing The Perfect Ground........Experimenting With
Differing Forms.........Different Colors...........Changing This............That.............Changing Myself From Moment To
Moment.........Changing...........Quite Maddening(Delightfully So) At Times...Oft Feel So Inadequate To Task...........Which
Of Course Is As It Should Be...............That Restlessness Of Elusive Spirit.....................Always So Much Much More
There...........There............Right At One's Fingertips.........Reaching Out, Constantly Reaching.............Gathering
Dust............Bits And Pieces.........Particles..................Miniscule Glimpses.............Moments.............The
Illuminatory Web Of This Very Small Universe. I Find Myself Using Many Of My Old Techniques That I Have Developed Over The
Years......Strange For Me(The One So Insistant On Constant Change).........But They Are Old Techniques Used In Completely
Differing Ways..........Which Is O.K............Draw Comfort From One, The Known Of Technique, In Chasing The Illusiveness
And Uncertainty Of Unknown..............Latter Part Of Month Was One Of Sensory Overload.........In A Good Way Of Course...........A
Great Way...........Paddled Out To Horn Island For A Weekend. Too Many Delights In Too Many Forms.......So Much Energy.........Light,
Heat, Thunderstorms.....And The Visions Beneath...............A Single Photon Striking The Surface Of the Eye Is Quite Enough
To Deal With At Times.........But A Deluge Of Energy Reflecting Off Gulf's Surface Is Enough To Shortcircuit Any Brain Or
Mind As Simple As Mine.......And Then There Were My Very Special Friends.......The Porpoises.....The Pelicans, Gulls, Terns,
Heron and Egret.........The Numerous Species Of Crabs......Hermits In Their Humble Everchanging Abodes............Ghost With
Their Ever Attentive Eyes............And Whatever Those Things Were That Were Crawling All Over My Tent At Night(i.e...Species
Unknown) So Many Other Life Forms That Should Bear Mention But Won't..................So When I Got Back Into The Studio I
Was A Total Incompetent...........Couldn't Get Anything "Right".............Just So Much And Too Much "Going On" in This Brain...........Too
Much To Assimilate And Digest At One Time I Presume. Now, A Week Later, I Am Settling Back Down, Chipping Away At It A Bit
At A Time.......Of Course A Trashcan Full Of Paint Transfers Which Just Didn't Quite "Make It".......But One Thing For Certain............Those
Encounters With Wonder Out At Horn Island Will Slowly Find Their Way Into The Imagery..........As They Already Have Into My
Being
