PRIVATE RHYTHM: BEAUTY IS DIVINE BEAUTY 2009

I love hymn.




The work is a spiritual, a gospel sung as an impassioned
symphony- an opera and a synth pop/alternative dance. The title is PRIVATE RHYTHM 2009 with movements, acts and charts.




The infinity symbol and the figure 8 is the visual
rhythmic beatbeatbeat heart beat. I listened and followed as this visual
whisper turned to soft, swinging sounds and continued to emerge with clarion.
The infinity symbol signifies eternity- inhale exhale :: exhale inhale. In my later
research: in Tantra the number 8 of the 10 heavenly bodies is prana and
refers to divine energy and breath.




Lines drawn with graphite and sheets of paint applied
with a hand-held squeegee so the visuals move like sound in the distance, echoes
and calling forth. The black graphite shimmers, glints and shines as it reflects
the light. As all my work, this series is improvisational- a dive into a
prayer.





The PRIVATE RHYTHM series echo
with Paleolithic cave paintings found within mountains and Medieval art works
found within cathedrals and electronic beats. Urgent rhythmic songs that resound with the elixir of
desire, wonder, awe and profound moments of discovering love- touching what
could not be touched, can only be privately known and is the universally
beautiful song of humanity. Internal alchemy. Blueprints, maps, scores…
