[Epigraph:]
“Everything that needs to be said
has already been said.
But since no one was listening,
everything must be said again.”
~Andre Gide
I am writing this welcome
on the threshold of the
Summer Solstice arriving
in our Northern
Hemisphere. May this
inflection, this high
point of the summer, this
luxuriousness of
uninterrupted light,
surprise the dark corners
of humanity's
consciousness into a
shining summer of clarity
-- an augury cast against
the cold calculation of
war, the bitterness of
violence, the dimming of
hopes and the paucity of
choices... .
May the twin forces of
creation and destruction
find the equilibrium that
our living planet itself
exemplifies -- an
emergence, a
transformation, an oasis
and a mirage -- a
blue-and-white beacon
snatched out of the cold
and the darkness, and
poised on the blurry line
between improbability and
inevitability... .
Thusly reasoned &
conceived, comes another,
summer show of a ragtag
collective of artists
known as Shared Habitat
Earth (S.H.E.), based in
Boston and surrounding
area. It is to this
exhibition that I shall
contribute two expansive,
post-minimal works on
paper. One of them has
just been seen at the
April five-artist show
about color, that I
organized at the
Brickbottom Gallery -- but
could have been easily
missed due to modest size
and among the panoply of
colorful offerings.
 "What Is a Man?", 13 x 17 in. (33 x 43 cm),
Mixed drawing media on paper, 2020-21
The second work on paper will be exhibited for the first time. It's framed
with a large mat, to allow it to breathe. It is a special piece, coming out of a
special place within, and traveling to a special place without... .
 "Everything Is", 15 x 20 in. (38 x 51 cm),
Mixed drawing media on paper, 2020-21
Look to my website for more details, as the dates & times unveil and come to a finer resolution... .
