A Common Chord

                                        “To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.”— Paul Valéry

     Life as an interpretive dance:  I’m compelled to discover how form continually precipitates into being. How do thoughts and observations affect our reality? If objects can be observed as either wave or particle, but not both at once; then it must be the something ‘in between’ that defines our relationships and determines our experience.

In the making of this work, my contemplations focused on the pure transmission in sounds, color frequencies, and simple forms. I’m looking to the place where words break down into letters and those letters then break down into symbols with broader associations. I’m looking for the shared space beyond definitions and between words. Through the artistic process I follow the thread of what I know, what I perceive, and what just happens to get to the essence of things.

I sense that there is a clarity and expansion of information that lies beyond abstraction that can inform us about what ‘ is the matter.’ This awareness can be applied in practical ways to bring a higher level of freedom and imagination into our everyday dance with creation -- Or, to the immediate, and perhaps less practical, application of making art as souvenirs from the dreaming.
