Becoming a member of Blackfish after twenty six years, I think this isa good time to reflect over the shows I had there. I may learn something in the process. First one/two person exhibition I had there was a group of six large sculpture pieces which I called " scroll" series, but which I now renamed "artifact" series. It seemed that the works that I have done in this period seems to derived a lot from man made objects that as in this group such as "Boogie Woogie Synthesizer", " Windjammer" and "Cyrus's Lost Invention" pieces. With many organically carved lumber woods assembled mixed with various hardwares and cotton cords, the pieces resemble some artifacts of lost civilization to me as well as to other viewers. "Perhaps naming one of the piece, "Oseberg Imagery" after a famous Anglo Saxon site, shows this unconscious tendency to reflect ancient artifact.
The exhibition was held in 1980 with Dianne Alkyire who had pencil and color pencil abstract pattern like works that seem to reflect her interest in color, shades and texture.
Kane, great pictures! And I like your music selection - I didn't know you were a Patsy Cline fan. I am too!

When it comes to songs about heartbreak she's the top- not that I
ReplyDeleteam experiencing heartbreak lately (laugh).Haven't had those for eons- must be getting really old (laugh). Surprise though to hear that you're her fan- must have had lots of heartaches when you were young (laugh).
