6¾" x 8¾" (17 x 22 cm) experimental photographic print [this IS the original piece]
"Dancing Star" is perfectly wonderful! I look at it and think, You've moved into a new phase, or perhaps discovered a new vocabulary. Funny, isn't it? that an English professor doesn't himself have the terminology for your work. I think that's good because it means that your work is original, unclassifiable, beyond normal categories. "Dancing Star" seems to me to have deeper colors, more passionate hues. And that strip down the middle represents at least part of what I mean by your new language. You've done one or two works before with words, but this time you're elemental. When you're at your best--as you are here--you express the deepest core of your personality. You bypass the usual categories of thought and the usual languages of painting to discover your own formulas of expression. I don't think many artists, in any media whatsoever, ever do that. And I also think that it's the holy grail of what artists have been reaching for since the beginning of the Romantic movement. Each truly exceptional artist finds her own singular "dancing star." Most artists never manage to make the long journey to the star. It's a deep, indwelling source of inspiration that you seem to be able to tap. I can see why it took you a long time. The work had to grow until it was ready for birth.
At least this is how I understand the whole process.
Your work really presents the viewer with forces that aren't easy to confront. I don't mean that your paintings are frightening. But they're a little like looking into the sun. There's nothing quite like them.
~Jerry Masinton, Emeritus Professor of English, Lawrence, KS, USA
