martha wainright
its around 430 and i am listening to martha waingright singing on you tube
martha is my new favorite of the moment...
ive been watching her sing "bloody mother fucking asshole"
... which made her famous awhile ago in europe
YouTube - Martha Wainwright on Jools Holland
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBk-gMnA7Jg&feature=related
but i also like "when the day is short"
and " you cheated on me" and "the car song"
there is a great dynamic hearing such a sweet voice
singing those lyrics.... and seeing martha in her very
girly dress and great shoes...... rhyming and singing
dirty mother fucking asshole.... its a bit ironic
and seems similar to what i am looking for when i
combine bodybuilers, nude men,
bugs and furniture......its like erections and
flowers ...... sort of shocking but sweet.....

collaboration with artist from the netherlands
this piece was done with seiko an artist from the netherlands
we did this around the time he was doing fashion week in NYC
and the world trade center fell. seiko was photographing the
fashion shows ... and had an opening two days after 9/11
he was having coffee at a cafe near where his show was taking place
and he took pictures as the plane crashed into the wtc... they ran all over
the european papers and i
picked him up in nyc and brought him back here to northampton.
it was an awful time..... he suggested the collaboration and it worked

ART AS FLOW
THIS IS A DISCUSSION I HAD WITH MY THERAPIST AFTER I WROTE HIM ABOUT MY ART
AND HOW ART WAS DESCRIBED AS A FLOW BY MY SISTER ANNE... ALSO AN ARTIST , A PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND A BHUDIST
i talked to anne about the theory of me not wanting to sell my art...
she disagrees and said if i had someone to market it i would in a
minute but that i dont want to deal with the craziness of the art
world... and also to understand that art is a flow... its a flow from
you to people from people to you..... the art isnt so much like a
product as other things
it more than that.....
anyway our session had some outcomes .. paul

Dear Paul,
Well done!
I'd like to hear more about the idea that art "flows" back and forth between people. For me, it's an intriguing thought.
See you Monday.

its an anne word " flow "
i say it in a different way.......in zen they say we are awareness....
which is the same as spirit what we say in the
west...... i told anne that art was more than just a product and that
was difficult to desbribe to people.....
the process it seems is more important for me than the end result
..... the process of drawing includes pencil paper and
model/item.. and me......there is a connection between me and the model
there is a flow happening....
a blend of flavors.........not only is there physical stuff
happening. hand movement ... thinking... emotions ,,,,thought,,,,
attraction....there is a connection .... what is seeing and moving my
hands is awareness
the flow from the model to the artist is always happening ....the drawing
represents this flow

drawing as truth ????????????????
what i understood today after listening to adyashanti is that
awareness is what i am.
he came to understand his truth because of his writing
the real truth that i have given to be communicated is through
my line drawings..... that is were the truth began. for me....
for years i just
wondered who the
hell made that?????? who did that drawing????? where did that drawing
come from????? who am i if i did that drawing ???????
it puzzled and alarmed me
many questions
started there
disturbing questions ..these questions made me afraid because they
threatened who i thought i was
what i ultimately realized is
that i am the drawing too... not only am i
the drawing what ever i draw...the model .. flowers ... bugs ....are the drawing along with
me...
a simple way to understand how everything is what we are .... paul
the individual being drawn blends with the individual who draws....
the connection produces the lines on the paper ...and the marks on the
paper are what result...... the marks are your own marks but would not
be possible without that connection.........and for them to work there
has to be a trust and a vulnerablity,,,,, you have opened yourself and
they have opened them self.... it works the same with flowers, or
chairs or anything.....the connection with awareness is the same.....
another aspect of the flow is that the person who ends up looking
at the dawing is also part of the flow.
for the end result( the art) is truth... awareness at play .... and
those seeing it are awareness....... spirit..... and the whole process
happens again........still the mind is interpeting probably
incorrectly .....but the blended image from the flow or conection
between me and the model has produced something that is based on the
models awareness and my awareness...... and is being seen by another's
awareness......
does that make sense ?? paul
understanding that i am not just a gay white man who draws....that i am awareness ...is freeing
but difficult to remember .... to realize that our bodies are devine from the one..
and knowing that they will disintegrate like styrofoam cups ....yet everyones awareness is the same
only our born bodies different.... still hasnt totally taken root in me.....
not differenciating between you and me ... is fantastically difficult
