THE BLACK PAINTINGS '09

From a doodle into a narrative....BLACK.

BLACK, not as despair, but rather BLACK as totality.
Not any single meaning, but all meanings.

BLACK as the source and the goal of everything.
Not emptiness but pure potential.

Not sadness but silence.
Not cold but warm, inviting as a rainy day and a down comforter.

BLACK as caviar, as delicious, as precious.
BLACK as intimacy.
BLACK as a child's breathy whisper.
BLACK as the colorless depth of meditation.
BLACK, the beginning, the still point from which everything emerges
BLACK, the end, the enfolding destiny that awaits.
