A ONE-WOMAN SHOW

Look at this non-objective image. I want you to observe it with intensity. In fact, go over it bit by bit. Witness not a false line or shape within. Yes, I’m showing it here, describing it to you because it has me mesmerized. I go over and over it and see something new each time. You’re wondering what is going on with me. Have I become so taken by myself that I can do no wrong artistically? And if so, why would I burden you with such a towering ego?

Well, it’s not what you think. I didn’t do this piece but have had it for quite some time. It’s a combination of manmade and Mother Nature. It was a park sign that

I saw years ago. A sign that slowly deteriorated, baked by the hot Arizona sun. Little by little, it began to buckle and crack. Until finally it became the abstract image you see. But again, see what nature has left us; a perfect piece of contemporary art. There’s not a speck in it that isn’t interesting. Uncontrived. Totally and utterly creative. Another grand work of Mother Nature!
