Artists' Statement:
Living
beside Lake Metacomet
Documenting variations and developments of The seasons of the exterior world and The seasons of the interior world as, Swirling side by side, They exchange fragrances and melodies Colors and tones Histories and ghosts The line and form of one inviting the other Softening the illusionary border between both We invite you into our discussion And the jingle of place and context
David's
photos are arranged by season starting with autumn and ending in summer. That means trees and leaves of course, but
also water and sky, creature and flower.
He likes to capture the texture of things, tangible touchable
things. The realness of these things,
made unnaturally still by the camera, draws us through the image of the
exterior world towards the landscape of the interior.
As we
move to that interior A.J.'s paintings offer us a guide through the
seasons of
myth. Here the signs and spirits of the collective experience of the
ancients,
as transmitted through a very modern mind, populate the seasons of the
interior
where Jazz and dream, color and vision create new forms and
perspectives.
A.J. reveals what is familiar to our dreaming
eye shaking us
out of our pretense of comfortable truths.
In
the
dialogue between David and A.J. life and art are celebrated by
welcoming all of
us into their aesthetic experience.
