Channeling
my past into present-day art
pigments engrained within each fiber
perceived as color by the naked eye
transformed through manipulation
their history engrained with mine
every tiny molecule does what it knows how to do best
–blend
🎨
every hue in my world transferred into creativity
while I daydream on a blank slate
understanding that there is
no need to be perfect
there is no wrong or right
scaffolding the areas that will become the highlight
🎨
each medium has built-in properties that allow
particles to stay together
to keep their shine
to cover that blank surface
no parts left untouched
capturing a moment in time
whose meaning can be changed
by how it appears in the dark
in the light
in the squint of an eye
near and far
🎨
many values lie in the process
🎨
within me lies all the built-in properties I need in this life
as long as the air continues to fill my lungs
my hand and brush will work in unison as the imagination runs freely–jumping around in a playground
being curious
while stamping scenes from my memory
in a relaxed environment
to create music with the sounds of brush strokes
leaving their mark on a canvas
some areas broken
rough
smooth
dark
light
all parts of me spilled in color
🎨
a beautiful balance that compliments me in multiple ways
an honest piece because in my art, I reveal some of my truth
a reminder because in each one of us, there is a past
a transformation
a cherished memory gained over the years
a reason to smile
....
