Comfortable and Curious with Contradiction

hibernal/winter 2015-2016

ambiguity             opacity                    curious
  paradox                incongruent           divergence
enigma                 serene                     interval

The paradox of being cozy with ambiguity, this is beauty in layers.
Opacity and transparency intermingled.

Contradiction can seem disparate, disconnected. Yet rather it is the space between the lines that tells the story, the light-reflective liquid beneath the ice that reveals the concord in stillness. In this image of the full ink bowl waiting for the touch of the brush there is an invitation…

a beaconing that stirs curiosity, kindling an unassuming and inscrutable communion. Within this enigmatic moment, the brushstroke occurs.
It is winter. It is the time of Flying White in my studio.
