Overlapping (paper/thread/space) - from Cheryl Penn

[Marie Wintzer]

 

Most Days happen just like that. Most days are just Blanks and Fragments of Days, proportions variable. 
What happens in the Zalop Space inbetween? Is life happening in bursts of Time?

 

 

Blanks - Maybe just Time to Breathe. 
Fragments - Bones of Ideas, gathered and re-constructed to form a new Backbone. 

Cheryl's work is a perfect example of everything RE-.

Books. Dismantled. Re-built, Re-shaped, Re-cycled, Re-written, Re-thought.

Can Verbal be turned into Visual and vice versa? Where lies the Border between Verbal and Visual anyway?

 

 

That bundle of intermingled Threads underneath its protective plastic window, sending out only a few of its tentacles toward Solid Grounds. An abundant Verbal inner world translated into a multicolored Visual one.

 

 

Threads - As many attempts to connect, link, tie, bind, communicate. Bridges between Fragments. 
Thread - Maybe the Symbol of symbols?

 

The photo below is one of my favorites I ever took (because of the subject, not the photo itself, of course) :-))

Smelling the Paint, feeling the Textures, meeting there? Oh yes, no doubt we are meeting in that Space. When I get mail I always travel back in time and imagine the hands that crafted the piece. I see them putting paint on paper, creating something and being brave enough to let go of it and send it away. I don't know where I was while Cheryl worked on that piece, but we ARE meeting there now.
Cheryl, please don't stop sending me your FABS, I want to keep meeting you through your art. I have this feeling of growing a little bit more every time I get a new one, and I can only say thank you!
