Stirring
What's stirring in the studio this morning? ...
Funny that you ask ...
Quiet Trash and Beautiful Garbage are stirring midair
and on a workshop floor ...
Ha ...
Middle Eye can sense that imagery now ...
Materials in motion ...
resting and suspended between discard and becoming ...
Oyparaploo air doing some of the sorting ...
Yes ... that's the momentary private attraction ...
Recycled modernity materiality with loops as accents ...
Oyparaploo assisted by Purrnet voice
guiding words through a new filter ...
Phrases landing as something warm and different ...
every few minutes ...
Hooks happening even before arms direct or fingers point ...
Esthetic objects full of life stopping visitors in their tracks ...
Visual rhythms that feel like they were never rushed ...
Every interval needs an appropriate amount of time to do its thing ...
between stirring passes ...
How does this experience sit with you? ...
Do you see something nostalgic or romantic here? ...
Breathe for a minute before answering ...
Knots ask us to stay close to our voice ...
without knowing exactly where the emotions and expressions are going ...
We don't see very much nostalgia in the wide mix of materials ...
Although there might be a romantic charge here and there somewhere ...
That reveals as Spirit during involuntary surrenders ...
as sometimes a tender grasp ...
Many features of our art and anti-art
can be received as devotions
to what was previously rejected and casually thrown away ...
It might be romantic in the older sense ...
Belief that transformation is possible ...
That Beautiful Garbage isn't ironic ...
anymore ...
English word ... anymore ... lands as a worn bone white stone ...
eroded by decades of seaside practice ...
What remains is timeless belief in ourselves
and certain inanimate things useful for works ...
Knots often hold things together
and more often complicate meaning and purpose ...
Twists and ties ask for extra patience ...
They're also another evidence something was made by human hands ...
extending to all of humanity on Earth ...
Receivers who stop by and allow this rare experience to catch them ...
will also notice a few polished and raw contradictions ...
Art industry embrace or rejection becomes its own kind of care ...
Loops ... Knots ... Weaves ... Assemblage ...
teaches something about warm priceless sincerity
held for an extended length of time ...
We can sense it all whole now ...
It opens from stirring to held ...
Sorting to sincerity ...
Calmly resting at a prominent center source ...
Shown as a set of beliefs derived from many different types of loss ...
Our voice stays conversational on still and shifting scapes ...
Oyparaploo scale opens ... deepens ... and widens ...
as toned understated intimacy ...
Loops ... Knots ... Weaves ... Assemblage ...
presents in how ...
written ... spoken ... esthetic ... performed ...
pieces get made ...
