“Afloat” Image. Ceres Gallery. New York. Solo show.
Art has to work visually. Someone I know said recently, that art is non-verbal philosophy. This blog is where I usually go on and on describing and explaining these pieces. As I look at them NOW. I try to resurrect feelings that I may have had at the time I did them, but really, when I did these images, I was merely putting one cut-out magazine piece with another, making the art flow within the 5″ square.
Going with that, look at the bee climbing the curtain.
I am not excusing myself from the descriptions I usually give. Nor am I trying to get out of giving the work some sort of significance. For this image, just look. After all, art is a visual experience. Without prompting.

I’m just looking, and the picture and the text are reminding me of being a child and watching large flies (sorry not bees) on the net curtains. It takes me back to when the whole world was all about discovering new things and the feelings I had when watching these visual phenomena.

Your experience is about as non-verbal as it gets. That is wonderful! When I was in a certain Painting class not too long ago , when I went back to Art School for Postgraduate credits the instructor would not let us listen to music during class. He said it interfered with the non-verbal visual experience!
