yet i try: CONVERTING THE COMPLEX PROCESS OF CREATING art INTO AN ART STATEMENT
Having never been much above 50% satisfied with any art statement I have ever written, I think the best statement is no statement. I personally feel that to be true. Leaving it in the hands of the viewer is most agreeable to me. Whatever the response. This being totally a personal preference. Nothing absolutist here.…

THOUGHT SPACES
This is a thought. This sentence is a thought. This sentence, composed of words. A word. Then another. Words. Communicate. Form. Try to. In endless streams of variance. In thoughts. Sounded. Imagined. Pictured. Felt. Differently…perhaps somewhat closely resembling. I repeat. This is a thought. That sentence. The above word-thoughts. Now enclosed in a supportive…

THOUGHTS ON LINES AS DEFINED IN PLANE GEOMETRY AND AS EXPERIENCED DRAWING
Why respond to a painted block of a single color on a page torn from a used book by marking it with one line or two connected or parallel lines? That self-question led me to researching the very definition of line. And that generated more questions and further searches into lines. Basic geometry. What is…

RECKONING FORWARD
FORWARD Many of my paintings have been inspired by a Greek relief of a side view of a woman walking. Right foot raised. A graceful step into the future. Step by step. Painting by painting, I created a steady repetition of horizontals supporting diagonals moving left to right, to be continued off the…

LAY OF THE LAND AND PAPER COLLAGE LANDSCAPES
How happy was I when my keyboard instructor suggested one of his friends might be interested in playing and recording my music. Really?! Then it happened!! My recent score for piano was played by a real person, a human!, not Musescore electronics! AND recorded as a demo. My world froze in amazement, excitement, astonishment. On…

MUSIC TOO
Time (Altered) is the title of an ongoing suite of original compositions created on musescore.org. They can be accessed by searching for marilynstubbl (!not sure why my full last name is cut off…) The introduction includes timpani and violin sounds. Part 1 is called Lay of the Land. This recently finished piece began and ended…

TREES, TRUNKS, BRANCHES, ROOTS, ME
As I was visualizing how to fill an empty space between the dining room and living room, I wandered back to drawings done years ago of trees… After locating them, I was surprised to see how many I had done. And had totally forgotten about the 4 drawings of a figure against a towering tree.…

It’s falling apart…
and still, I’ve been working on it for years. It is the used paperback mystery I am altering by painting over each paragraph turned into a rectangular block. I have about 8 more chapters to go. First, each block is marked with pencil. Then the pages are painted with coats of titan buff. The tops…

Imagining the space around (revised repost with image)
After reading scientist and poet Rebecca Elson’s poem, “Explaining Relativity,” in A Responsibility to Awe, I was especially moved by the line: It’s so much more a thing of pliancy, persuasion, Guardedly, suspiciously, and with tears, I think of me. My weight, in this moment so tiny and quick, is held up, is surrounded, therefore…

Rear View
Looking back on my installation, Color Says, at the Da Vinci Art Alliance in Philadelphia… Glad to have had my first solo show of my yet-to-be-titled, in progress, retelling in color of a used paperback mystery, and the other work it inspired! Other reasons to be glad/happy/pleased/amused/surprised/enlightened/inspired (not in any particular order): If I stood…
