Artist Reply: Thank you so much, Joel. From looking at your paintings and bio, I believe we get our inspiration from the same place - the ultimate power. Thank you again!
Artist Reply: Thank you Joey. I think that's one of the feelings we both see...spritual power.
This is a great series. I also use my abstracts in bark and stone as a projective test. I am a psychologist who has administered this test for over 30 years and when I started taking pictures, the world turned into a huge Rorschach. I am delighted to find someone who also uses ambiguous imagery so the viewer can project onto your unique and very colorful canvas. I refer to using my photos as projectives and refer to Rorschach in my biography. Your work is a great canvas for the imagination. I look forward to taking time to see your gallery!
Artist Reply: Thanks for taking the time to view and comment on my series. Glad you like the colours...they're my passion. Let me know what you read on them so this psych patient can analyse the shrink! I started these in the mental hospital and couldn't quit. They became quite an obsession.
Artist Reply: Hi Julie,
I haven't been active in AW for years due to a disability that has hindered the use of my hands.
I don't know if you remember who I am, or my Rorshack Series, but I was checking out my portfolio comments today. I think you might be the first one who actually "gets" the series.
You seem to understand that the viewer not only interprets what she/he sees, but they can choose to view the painting from which way they determine is the "right side up".
I have bipolar disorder, and was painting some of the series in the psychiatric ward of the hospital. This is where I noticed that the patients were turning the painting around until they saw (what they determined to be) the figures I had painted. Meanwhile, after having mixed my vivid colours, I had only been painting where my brush was leading, without a conscience objective.
Thanks for understanding what I was doing as well as thank you for taking the time to remark about it.
Sincerely,
Sally
