Mise-en-scène

All the art I have seen in the past few weeks has informed everything from my gifts (think the inspiration of a potholder kit for a kids birthday party after seeing Allison Reimus at Jennifer Terzian), my work infinitely, and even my dreams, where I gained the ability to see sound which manifested itself as Stuart Davis-esque visuals. All of these works I have included here caught my curiosity and took themselves into my visual care.

By writing this I am again able to take a closer look at and return to the scene of the sublime. I look again because they have set the scene of my mind and that is no small feat. Art truly can linger in the confines of visual memory seeping into the cinema of our lives.

Thanks for taking a journey through the stills of the silent film in my cranial confines.

The images included here are all from my ventures to various venues in the past month. These are what caught my eye (and my camera). Some of them I had the good fortune to linger in front of, optically traversing surfaces with an archeologist’s precision, while others I snapped as I was being pulled, delightfully tugged by a smaller hand, the other hand hurriedly trying to snap an image of the artwork and/or placard.

Let it be known I am a fervent reader of museum signage!
