Dissociation is a new evolution of the previous series Cante Jondo where, as a sort of rebellion, I dissociate the color from the subject matter and the subjects from themselves. It is also existential in tone. This intimate passage reflects my encounter with a new reality where my circumstances disengage into the individual pieces without possibly interlocking in harmony. A time of material loss, a time of possible spiritual loss, a social time difficult for ALL, where my primary focus is on light to express a sense of hope and preservation of the soul. 2011. I live and persist in my work. My art is not a solution...it is an intent. I seek an existence that is free, more equal and just for all. "The only authentic knowledge is born of universal love. When we love, we suffer all the forms of oppression, and we desire to fight for liberty, for justice and for all that foster human dignity." Antoni Tàpies. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |

THE SECOND COMING
The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Nobel Prize |
