acrylic and mixed media

on 60″x96″ canvas

here i declare #poempaintings for i am not one or the other.

when in poem i seek markings of life.

when in painting

my markings are often poetic pieces of physical depth.

r u looking or reading

feeling or thinking

can u do both

which ones good

this is hard

i darken so i can lighten later, i pull, so i can push after.. drip so i can declare purposeful form by accident one later. back n forth and away we go..

bigger canvas needs bigger love. bigger size bigger experience. experience= time. markings are experiences. the painting IS time. from afar they seem monochromatic and peaceful.. get closer to understand the happenings of time.

size presented its challenges. how 2 b everywhere @ once mostly. it’s a brain scramble that my mind enjoys because i always win. i’ve always been a better doer than thinker.

it only became beautiful

it only became ITSELF

when deconstructed.

when it was shown 1st

in order 2 b here

the sum of its total parts

was never @ threat

was never cumulative.

it was the liberation

that made that bitch shine.

rinsing.

washing.

repeating

to assumed

synchronicity.
