Each week, one artist chooses a piece that has gotten under their skin — be it as a simple attraction or as part of their pantheon of Greatness — to put words to that selection and parse the particulars of that work’s Distinctiveness.

The Stoop Series
2/27/18
Of sight and sound is an art/ music collaboration that challenges the accepted aspects of our human condition. By painting “blind” and listening to the improvised music, the visual part of the performance seeks to expand the possibilities of our other senses becoming more acute to create a visual (dialogue? ) that references our symbolic nature while leaving to chance the end result.
What we normally see may be just a reflection of something more real and profound in the quantum world . This performance attempts to qualify a more profound level of existence that is innate to us all but to which we rarely are in touch with.
The musicians are also forced ( in dialogue ) to improvise their truth as they are watching the painting come to fruition .
Ultimately the act invites the viewer to be more cognizant of a deeper reality than what they are normally conditioned to accept and expand their inner senses to manifest a more cogent perception of their true nature
