Aimlessness
Aimlessness
sets in,
like the gangrene
of
the corporate world.
I wander away
out the back door
of
a busy office.

Introducing: Sean Greene
Sean works for a friend of mine, as a painter, so I often ran into him when he was working there, as well as random times in town at things he was painting, like the new State Street store and Thornes. In those short conversations I learned that he made art, and I became interested in seeing it. I finally got to, the other day at the A.P.E. Gallery on main street. I thought his paintings were really good and interesting. Lots of clear lines and bright colors. I would buy a painting, if I had the money. One last thing from me about Sean: he is also a very friendly guy.

From his website:
"My paintings are rooted in color. Color intervals provoke the fleeting sensations of light animating a space. Bands of color become paths of light, traces of motion that lead the eye through an illusionistic space and around a tactile surface. These bands evoke written languages like Arabic or graffiti-- illegible but loaded with expressions of balance or instability, variation of speed, entanglement, congestion or comfort, fluidity or angularity."

Introducing: Myrrh Brooks
Yay! Myrrh has agreed to let me show some of her art here!
I met Myrrh 16 or so years ago, because I am friends with her father, Trevor the games man. Over the years me and Myrrh have had a lot in common, and sometimes even done stuff together. A sampler: we like to make art, we like to dance the Lindy Hop, we like Trevor. She lived in Northampton for a while, and I enjoyed that. Last year I went to her wedding to Joe Brooks. It was in a beautiful refinished barn in Amherst, MA.
Myrrh is one of those people who is constantly creating things and in a variety of mediums. I like that about her. You can't really capture the essence of a creative person in a blog post, or in a photo of their work, but you can give clues to who they are. Sometimes you can only indicate that they are cool, and let people discover on their own. Her website only hints at how creative she is.
