So You Want It In Black & White
For an artist black & white are colours, as far as I’m concerned; and come from the paint box in as many variations as skin colours on the human race – where the two words are used to socially classify with brutal, generalized simplicity.

about a river
Paint poured across surfaces is absorbed and resisted and the dry trails of pigments are memories of the artist’s efforts – a record of the invisible passage between hand and eye, between idea and enunciation, of a river being within. ~ Beth Jackson
