City, my city - pieces that are meant to be landscapes indicating the terrain of my subconscious effected by my material atmospheres. At least, that's part of the working artist statement... But really, they are also personal poetic odes to understandings connections made, imagined, or lost. I used to do these pieces as sidewalk chalk drawings and it is my dream to be able to do quite a few (over 60?) of them in freedom park. Why? Well I like the connection that sidewalk chalk makes. It is humble yet impactful. I think it is an easy medium and somewhat forgotten when it comes to the basic art culture. It is really cool though to see some one create with it. There are so many children and adults who really enjoy seeing the creation process, and all of my pieces are improv abstracts focusing on the emotional, decision-making elements of being an artist. These are the things that are hard to teach in art....why something works or doesn't for instance, oolor choices and combinations, shapes and variables. It all presents itself strongly in abstract art.
For those reasons, I really want to bring this series to the sidewalks! But until then, enjoy it here....or here.
