.........and how they arrive
Waking up one morning and in that time of suspended animation before reality comes into sharp focus, I had an idea. A complete idea that was somewhat complicated. I had to buy a red ribbon and take photos of it falling to the ground, then do paintings of the results.

It wasn't until after I finished two versions that I realized it was simply about sleep.

I have a bad leg and often trip and fall at the beach.

Interesting post.
ReplyDeleteRobert, I like the way in which seeing your paintings in this post has again gotten me to contemplate the mysterious way in which ideas arrive. It's good that you were somehow able to catch hold of that floating dream.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Thanks Frances, Sometimes it's good to not know what I'm doing
DeleteIf I did not know the ribbons were falling, I might think they were lifting off, like UFOs.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the variety of images.
After I finished ,it just looked like sleep suspended reality
DeleteI like all your ideas and the outcome.
ReplyDeletethanks Paz...haven't seen you for awhile
DeleteFascinating to see these paintings within the context of your ideas and thoughts. It brings an entirely different reference point to them.
ReplyDeletethe paintings are just presentations of abstract ideas........or maybe the results of a lack of language skills,,,,,,i don't know but thanks for the comment, I look forward to seeing the book
