And then, there is the distinct body presence in between blue and green - a body whose face is not seen; unless you look more fractally beyond the others faces, to see an eye, fingers, eyelashes, ears and facely shapes.
To give props, my memory (which previously has been proven flawed,) tells me I sliced the angel face pieces from a KCRW fundraising flyer - what happened to the slices life once it was rubberized into Zbook is all us though!
In this spread, there is an interior presence - it is a shadow of the heart space I feel. I believe we crystallize that experience with EKG lines in the left middle top, stickered with the mini red heart, then leading to the blood like dripping at top left. Then there is the right page side with multiple references to cellular walls and bodies. And look magnifying glass closely at the tiny girl figure in the top right corner - she is cut off just below the solar plexus, allowing her image focus to be the heart space - where the activity of the rest of the spread may be said to be taking place.
There is more to support this theory: reflection, life, glue glob, on and on...

I love your reverence for this "heart space." yes, it does seem to be the nucleus of the page, the center of all activity, the space that is seemingly void but is full of possibility. the faces reflect and the heart space casts shadow where only light can be born. Hemphill! thank you for sparking this reflection in me!
ReplyDeleteyour memory must be right on 'cause I remember opening up to this page one day and BAM! these angles appeared, confronting me as intensely as they do each other, like a bolt of lightning that gave me a charge. and certainly set the stage of the page. and made the words "this is your life" come to life. thank you for making such beautifully bold moves in your art an our work.
