and my own clumsy attempt to capture that perfection in paint...

Introducing Jean Paul....

Real artistic perfection: the Bichon Frise! They are even master hunters (see the duck Jean Paul has bagged).

Want to get out of the city and see art?

An invitation to come and experience Future 86: 2007- Art in the Catskills.
Saturday, August 18th @ 1:00 pm thru Sunday the 19th
20 Weiss Road, Parksville, NY 12768

Future 86 takes its name from a turnpike in the area scheduled to be built,
which also doubles as an analogy. As a laboratory for artists to present work
outside of the market place, surrounded by nature, and housed within a
former 1930's Jewish summer hotel in the Catskills, Future 86 is both
exhibition and experiment. http://www.future86.org

Inspired by participation in other artist communities such as Skowhegan,
Sundown Salon, High Desert Test Sites, and The Arcadia Summer Arts Program
Future 86 aims to incorporate a wide range of contemporary practice: drawing,
painting, photography, sculpture, installation, interactive performance, film
and video screenings, relational aesthetics, and spontaneous dialogue.

If you plan to stay overnight, you can camp on our land or get a room as soon as possible.

What's Plank Level?

This is a play on the theory involved in quantum physics, originally discovered by Max Planck. The planck level is a sub-atomic level of matter (the most fundamental layer that we yet comprehend) that is composed of waves of possibility, ever changing and never actually fixed as anything until observed. The nature of this substance, which is the slippery fiber that composes every atom in our universe, hints at what we already know: that each of our own current realities is only but a possibilty, and one that probably differs enormously from the person sitting right next to us.

The other half of my "Plank Level" is akin to this idea, but more of a personal joke (must laugh to avoid pulling a Rain Man). I imagine most of my days in NYC as walking down the pirate's plank, blind-folded, deciding whether to jump over the edge into the sea of screaming eels, let myself be rescued by the handsome "good" pirate, or yank off the damn bandana, unsheath my shiny jewelled sword hidden in the billowing folds of my 18th Century dress (the sword was tucked into and secured by the brocaded princess corset) and slice and dice my tormentors.
