Perception
Today’s CutUp holds all the bits cut away yesterday from a piece of hand-painted dark green paper to yield three ‘positive’ dark green parabolas. When adhered to a brightly-colored background, a painting start from last year, those parabolas became the foreground of This Morning the World Is Made of Wind.
Today, I adhered yesterday’s cut-away bits to a second brightly-colored painting start, establishing them physically as the foreground; they are ‘on top’ of the background painting. You might see them as the visually predominant shapes in the art, as the foreground.
You might not.
Figure-ground: always the invitation to see what is in front of our eyes, or foremost in our minds, in more than one way.

Oh! I love the idea of this CutUp’s being the nighttime version of my blustery morning walk! Perfect! Suddenly, I am reminded of a January night time guided owl walk through the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, and I can feel the crisp deep-freeze of the air, hear the squeak of our boots in the dry deep-freeze snow, and see the moon shining down from the deep-freeze night sky, all here for the taking in this CutUp. Thank you, MaryAnn!

That wind turned out to be such a cobweb clearing gift. Glad it blew through with a yes for you too, Sheila!
