Life in Blue and Green Art Shows

Life in Blue and Green, probably my personal favorite, was shown at Tea Garden Springs in Mill Valley, California. For this work I wrote poetry and embedded it in a pumous-like soft rock that I’d shaped like the staella the Mayans made for their own writing. By this time I was deeply involved in the writing of the novel and that writing had moved me to create images that I was seeing in my imagination. For that purpose, I developed a way to photograph that kept one part of the image transparent. It was important to me that it was not done by Photo shopping, but was what was actually there. For the show I hired a Mayan musician so that the music fit with the images and the writing.
