Apraksts

Leonardo daVinci urged us "...to look at a wall spotted with stains, you may discover a resemblance to various landscapes, beautified with mountains, rivers rocks and trees. Or again, you may see battles and figures in action or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects which you could reduce to complete and well-drawn forms." The process of MINDWORKS imagery is one of adventure. Having no preconceived idea of what the final image will be, the artist begins with a few vague marks on paper...a kind of doodling. These mark often are made with graphite, charcoal, and/or lithograph pencils, and more recently, stabilo pencils which are water soluble and allow for tonal effects...touching the marks with brush and water. The initial drawing meditations (random marks on paper replace stains on a wall) are then scanned into the computer, digitized and enhanced in the Photoshop program with changes of composition, motif and color. Since this imagery is created on the computer it is available only on the monitor screen or as an inkjet print. It is an advent... an adventure of discovery, of self-realization, for the artist... as well as the viewer. It is a journey from NO-where to NOW-here.
