Video Art Piece: "A Texas voice memo 5/19/15"

I found an old voice memo from a trip I took out to California with my art in 2015, so I had to create a short piece along side it with my latest painting in the background that has a Texas landscape feel to it.

I was passing Toby the Davis Mountains on my way to Balmorhea State Park.

Inside the Wonder.

A short poetic film about an artists mind.

Inside the artist mind, I climb,

I reach, isolated,

alone,

yet.. together, whole.

The work flashes around,

amidst.. rewind and replay.

Between & afar,

it moves and I bend,

inside they appear,

as if they are talking, discussing,

color, shape, texture, movement,

silent and submissive,

in scale,

I can feel them, smell them, hear the whispers,

full bloom, waters running wild and downstream,

searching, seeking,

answers all questioning surrounding and sounds of gone by,

there are chapters ending and chapters beginning,

this is the way it works,

this is the way it sings,

this is the moment that arises out of a dead sleep to breath,

to write,

to think upon whats and whys,

to speak about memory and what is to come,

there is beauty here, there is color here,

I feel it chasing after me,

swift and strong,

I join in the ever changing tide.
