In the StudioIn the studio
clean now from a whirlwind of sorting the tables bare with white paper cloth like a blank canvas awaiting splash of color, slip of brush The gelatin and paint, brayers and some water, sheets of stark white paper wait patiently nearby. It starts with a single color spread thin and spread even now forms cut last night placed gently there paper carefully layed and pressure gently applied a peek then a lift and I'm off on a ride more color more forms more paper more time always lifted to find a surprise this delights me no end as the table top fills and the variations seem endless this is better than pills I could spend hours, and I do playing with color composition and form and happy accidents too there is a confidence here brought on by a tragedy life is too short as they say and my brother would be proud of me. a poem i wrote about the gelatin monoprint process
