TAROT TRAPEZE

By Chance a deck of Tarot Cards found their way in a grab bag gift box, fall of 2018; as in life so too in painting. I was barely into this recent series (statement written prior to completion), rolling the dice as I moved through. The hand we are dealt when applied to life, is a facinating and sometime tragic concept; bittersweet too, two artists natures intertined that is pure magic. Theraphy may be found within painting to process what unfolds, when words fail us, within our earthworks.

Schrodinger's Cat

Is he Alive or is he Dead? Or is he both? Painted on layers of acrylic, controlled by Arduino technology,  the cat is sometimes alive sometimes dead. Invisible layers are revealed by led lights inside the box.

"Peaceful Mind" Solo Exhibition 2012

This was my solo exhibition titled "Peaceful Mind" that I displayed at the Meyerhoff Gallery at Goucher College in 2012. As the Fine and Performing Arts recipient, I had a solo exhibition in which I exhibited my collection of fantasy and oil landscape paintings, depicting a perfect world of paradise. This show was inspired by my childhood growing up on the Eastern Shore. Adjusting to the city life was very difficult for me, and there was a different way of life and culture shock. These included a fast paced lifestyle, new schoolmates, neighborhood, culture, and values.

mahrem bir eser

mahrem bir eser is Turkish for “a private work.” The cellist plays through a set of instructions intended to produce enjoyment of the small differences in sound production that a person in a close relationship with an instrument can appreciate, and appreciate their ability to affect that sound. At certain moments the player enters into a private space, away from the audience, where the dynamics of noticing and of affecting and of enjoying are quite different.
