Two From the studio

I am experimenting with a much rougher approach. Trying to eliminate all definite shapes or forms.

Chinese Gardens

Tuesday I went to the Huntington to see their fantastic exhibit of Chinese Paintings. Later I wandered through their Chinese gardens.

"Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Zhuangzi. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuangzi. But he didn't know if he was Zhuangzi who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi."

Harbor Freeway Traveling North

After watching Danny Shain's car and skateboard videos I made this video while driving through downtown Los Angeles and the four tunnels underneath the four hills in the Chavez Ravine. Then combined it with some shots I had flying into Los Angeles. I was listening to Enrico Rava and that seemed to fit.

Santa Monica Show Opens

My exhibit opened at Ruth Bachofner Gallery in Santa Monica.
