Perception arrives through our senses - sight, sound, smell, balance, temperature, scale - in-taking what actually happens in our environments is owned by the moment and our perceptive organs.
Understanding events and assigning meaning are analyses against inherited formats. Understanding is objective, performed at a later time.
Two baby peacocks stand on their mother’s back to look down the hill at their father, on top of a roof. The perspective sets up from the top of a rock pile, looking down - this is like my rock pile, looking at my house. Mother peacocks look just like rocks.
A design of drawings arranged into a repeating fabric, in satin.
Two elliptical paintings on one surface do not share a perspective - they are different places, different people. One features a convex shape, the other a concave shape.
A huge harvest moon casts a glow on a fence. Low light makes it hard to see.
Who keeps themselves out of reach? A gouache painting shows a stretch to pet an illusive visitor. One of four assembled into a toile fabric.
Peacocks love to show off their full feather spreads as conspicuously as possible - and a free roof is the best spot. The homeowner comes out to see what is on the roof. A hose watches.
A peacock pecks on a window to be fed, but only a robot happens to roll by. This is one of four gouache paintings that composed the toile fabric.
A hawk flies by with a garnish from a bloodymary in its talons; in the background we can see his past - a drink in the hand of some guy in a hammock is sans garnish.
Four gouache paintings arranged into a matrix of chandeliers create a toile fabric in cotton.
A landscape of a front yard is reflected in the windows of a house. Where the windows open, we see into the house; otherwise, the house itself is not part of the landscape. The image tells a story in low contrast; about a lady who can reach out and get beauty to eat out of her hand.
A peacock rests under yucca tree shade, but his tail unfurls into a spectacle outside of the shadow. He is who he is, hot or not.
He was here again. Now gone again. Here or there, he has attention.
