always the voyeur

This for me is the job of the artist regardless of chosen medium. Being a voyeur. Observer. Through our structures the artist takes [we] note of what is happening in his/her [our] time. Some of this noting is criticism that at times is both positive and negative, private and hermetic and public and easily accessible by everyone.

The observing and recording comes in many forms and addresses all the input senses we possess; visual, sound, emotion –the static and the dynamic and all combinations possible. The list of observer connections grows every day.

I continue to make my observations using my choice of medium; paint on canvas, paper, and wood and combinations of the three. My observation pointer addresses the emotional sense structures taking in sound relationships to color and shape; thus probing the emotional side of our existence. This for some is a very private arena of spiritual-like meditation reflecting upon one’s self and all the relationships that make up our life. each individual interprets each painting privately and in as many definitions as there are observers. When not painting, I include my self as a member of this private audience.
