Premium Member Decoding the Message
DECODING THE MESSAGE

a gentle 
& tasteful
 critique
with
an ongoing
 preoccupatation
with
 figuration

a  change
in
direction
a collaboration
initiated
by
 memorabilia
of emerging
improvisation

a series
 concentrating
on fragments
 of imagery
 from
the  unexpectedly
&  overt
underlying

currently
 unscripted
this non-stop
 this
churn
now long long
forgotten &
 discounted ten
yet a
prized
 improvisation
of the
 intuitive
approach
 to a
creativity  
but
 so
compellingly
 strange

SPECIFIC MOMENTS

visual language
  inspiration
in
retrospective

 contemporary
dreams
of an alternative
future
 a moment 
of
reckoning
 flooded
 into
the eye
once  moribund
now
 captivated
 encountering
 the beauty
of refinement

 to establish
affinities 
between
the sensitive
& the
 non-comprehensive

a turning point
a  narrative
of the a romantic
constantly
renewed
 in
the mind

a battleground
& clashing 
of styles
 a sign 
of prescience
& genius

 an indicator
of dialogue
in rethought
figuration
of
the
absurd

BEAUTY & REFINEMENT

specific moments
forging
 a
visual
  language

inspiration
  gone mainstream
in
retrospective

an
  alternative
moment 
of

grown
  moribund

a
prestigious
 encounter
of
 ideas
 of beauty
& refinement
 dramatically
spot-lit

from view

the clashing
