Current Trials and Errors

Houston, TX

Literally - back at the drafting board. I'm playing with spatial qualities through oil painting, [mirror-infused] photography, and music comopositions. I don't know what I have, what [ideas] I'm working with, or just what I might be trying to articulate or say. I don't know of an audience beyond myself. Intuition rather than intelligence, is steering the course. Although, currently I'm tyring to articulate the personification of buildings through oil painting, I'm just not sure if that intention is passing through.

I have no choice but to ask questions and to develop [plausible] solutions. Instantaneous gratification is one result of contemporary technology. No longer are effort & time required to get a glimpse of an image in its negative form, let alone energies needed for seeing the positive. I attempt to expose all my students to pinhole photograhic processes, regarless of content being taught in a course. The magic of the 'image' is readily accessible via a box and chemical reaction. Experimentation with time is a necessity; few get a satisfying image in their first attempt.

Mirrors in the World

We've been working together since he was 4 years old. Homeschooling gave room for his intensified intentions. He rocks!
