Andrew’s posterous

words...numbers...sometimes, a little cement 

reference point

Cement and oil on canvas, 18" x 24" – 2007
 
The piece is about the activity of the mind
the lettering is mirrored, implying the view is from behind (or within) the canvas.
 
...usually thoughts are continuous...as clouds scudding across the sky...sometimes there is no blue at all, just constant, untrammelled thought. And on very rare occasions there is no thought, just an innocent 'looking'...into the infinite blue. At these moments of emptiness, there is nothing to be grasped by the senses. In emptiness, how can the mind function? It stops, it disappears. In the disappearance of the mind, the mind that is tense, worried, filled with thoughts that are relevant, irrelevant ~ in that disappearance of the mind...the serenity! OSHO

some gaps between words

cement and mixed media on canvas, 60" x 48" – 2007
 
The poor un-noticed gap....where would we be without them! – in music....in speech...in life! The words here are 'in your face', yet the message points to between the words.

Standing stone

Cement and mixed media on canvas, 60" x 48" – 2005
 
This piece was inspired by an invitation to join the Druids at Stonehenge, for their Summer Solstice ceremony. The numbers relate to the stones in the circle – 30 Sarsen stones, 56 Aubrey stones etc. The word 'Pietra' (Peter or Rock...or indeed Peter the rock) becomes 'pietà' = compassion. Compassion was the theme of the ceremony.
