Art for Art’s Sake. Agnes Martin described art as a high house. Milton Resnick stated the only direction in art that matters at all is ascendancy. Holding colors in my hands opens up magnified views, far off vistas, and distant memories of beauty. They become inspired moments, inspired thoughts, made visible, although, like much of human thought, they can remain quite abstract.
I follow the vibrations set forth through the juxtaposition of the colors themselves and find myself using a silent language with a clear tongue, almost fluently.
