orange and snow

there is a swish-squeak and

muffled thump as you

gain the cadence

and begin

to stroll and

with all the 

natural beauty

in peril

i get so 

miserable that 

I have to drink outside

while painting

at -15º c

vapour rises

from les isles

d ' ecos

and that 

cheers me up

art as a documentary

of a document?

of 

that which 

would reward,

by intention

an imagination

how are the crystals

from deep in the earth

any different than the 

new fallen snow

what does it look like when 

a gene sequence "mutates"?

evolution?

as an example of the baggage of this language

66 x 80 inches, oil on canvas

 50 x 72 in.

 electoral reform?  how is murder justified ?

if we elect government 

who hold a fundamental belief

 that the "end times" are inevitable

then is destroying the planet

doing god's will or 

our choice?

the play

"a conversations without words"

i.e. between paintings

paintings to music -music to dance

opening

painter sitting in a studio chair, looking

two walls 45º to stage

gets up and brings in another painting

and sits

gets up turns off the lights

"gallerias"

the dancers facilitate the conversation between paintings/ 

curating by hanging sequences of paintings so

the studio becomes an exhibition

and like Musorski

 parts are assigned

the artist has exited in painting attire to 

reemerge in opening gear

walls spin -studio wall photo-repro to neutral

tables spin- from paint to wine & cheese

scene 2

dancers in black enter and spin the walls/tables into tidiness

and curate a group

music assigned to individual paintings 

overlays and harmonized into

the next painting

the dancers, having arranged a good bunch

stand together looking at the MV painting horizontal

and

go turn it on its end

with a new rhythm

they divid into the black and white keys

into two different time signatures

while two different key signatures merge

with winter forest sounds

as a simultaneous emergence of

deer and whild turkeys

in sun set silloette on

the forest edge

and skipping double dutch

as a sound first and

break into different parts

"the slideshow" 

connects similarities between the forest and the paintings

on two screens
