Emerging
This is a video I created for a project in creativity and consciousness but I feel like it is Intermedia inspired.

Listening...
I thought I would post this as a work in progress but also an example of where I am trying to take my photography nowadays.
Believe it or not as of a few months ago, before I started JFK, I never dabbled with any collage. Now I'm addicted. I love being able to breath new meaning into old photographs and materials. I also thought this would be a good example of how good ole' JC (joseph cornell...) has recently influenced me. Actually all of the artists that I have recently gravitated to recently work with collage or the art of juxtaposition. But I guess it is JC who really allowed me to see the how deep you can go with the idea of creating a unique little universe of poetic meaning.
This collage doesn't really create a world, but it did allow me to go through the process of finding natural treasures and creating poetic meaning from them.
This piece doesn't feel finished yet but I just wanted to share. I love the feeling of working with collage and juxtaposing images and materials. It's like an intuitive puzzle, you can feel when it doesn't work and you kinda know when you are getting closer and then the feeling of when it all fits perfect. It was great to step out of the 2D photography form for this class and actually work with 3D form. I never expected it, and thought that part would of been the form I was least interested in.
I was really surprised that I didn't go on to create a full on 4d piece(image) and I want to thank Robbyn for reminding me to trust where I am at, and that this is apart of my process. I can really feel that now and it feels really potent.:-)

More on Eery
I love looking back at old photographs that I previously discounted to find that they hold a new energetic resonance for me. As the case with this one. It never did anything for me. But just looking at it now, again, more closely, I am drawn in. Not so much for what the work as is but more for the meaning or clues I feel coming from it...almost as a spring board or a doorway leading to a new path
In the past my photography has been very much about light. I am now more drawn to the darkness. I finally feel ready to see what it for me.

Excerpts from a Mash up Poem Exercise
Innerheart
I left
beating
It was hard
beating
but I had to do it
feeling
Now I am glad
it was hidden
I had to
before the birth
with the first
of you
I entered
what formed
for the first time of
walls of death
my life
old habits
A group
patterns
a group
thoughts
that held a
stuck
safe
container
of me
of my
beating heart
my desires
to know
a group of you
most beautiful women
all the you
that could
unleash in my world
and possibly meet
your beating heart.
