"Nothingness!"

It seems I drifted into the aspect of the creative process that the late, great visual thinker Da Vinci called "Doing nothing". When once asked why he was not busy working on a lucrative commission, Leonardo replied, "Sometimes an Artiste is doing his best work when he is doing nothing!"  

I drifted into it in this transition from the production frenzy of my first three...very limited months with tight objectives and goals as were the restrictions of time and resource with this residency.  Then the Hyde Park Art Center extended my stay by two more months. 

Boom! Calm!  Drifting on a sea of Rhythmistic consciousness.  Away from the pattern of working to meet self imposed objectives and goals within the limits of a three month flow. 

Thinking: Looking at the new Rhythmistic Art.  Learning from my own efforts instead of sequestering them in storage.  Where they would be incarcerated away from the intelligent eyes and curious minds of many art lovers, curators, critics or investors.  Waiting and never knowing. Risking being unknown!!

Today I end this nothingness and get bust!

Rhythmism Awaits!
