Controlled Chaos ..

I suppose one could call it. It’s what I chose for today’s monochromatic black and white photo. Sometimes I am very organized and at other times I am absolutely not. This is one of those tricks I learned a long time ago, that helps to enable me to be organized and not at the same time. Not much of a trick per say, only magnetics. I use this small square magnet that I took off of something a while back. I can not for the life of me remember what it came out of. Either way, it works wonders for attracting metal. Go figure right?! Haha.. It just happens that paperclips are made of metal. I have a devil of a time locating, organizing, and keeping paperclips separated. I was in need of a solution and one presented itself at the right time before I went mad.

Attractive Organization ..

Pun Intended. Because of the magnets strong pull, it keeps the tiny clips locked onto its surface never allowing them to interlock, thus becoming a tangled mess. I simply grab one off of the mass attached to the magnet, instead of going for one and ending up with five; exactly what would happen if I kept them in the box or a drawer.

Now Here’s Where We May Disagree ..

I think the mass of unorganized clips, all bunched up together, look artistic. I feel as if there is some appeal to this mess. Their silvery, shiny, curved edges catch the light and reflect it. Their shape coupled with the way they randomly cling to the surface of the magnet, is visually appealing. If I get tired of the look, I simply and quickly remove them and sprinkle them back on to the magnetic square, in order to create a new look. Don’t be afraid to disagree with me on this. I can almost see the other side of the argument here. Conform to the norm! I shall Not. I shall justify my opinion with a photo of the controlled chaos and call it ART!! Hehe..

Enjoy! ..

About Me ~ The Artist

My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.

Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.

For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.
