| " A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play or a diary. The deep hidden rhythm of life is always there, that of THE PULSE, the heart beat." - Henry Miller |
| I am thrilled to be a part of the launching of Seth's new book "The Pulse of Mixed Media". He has truly redefined what it means to be an art/ therapist. Stellar job putting it all together, Seth. There it sits above, in my studio. Thanks for including me in this project.......and speaking of including things......below are my pieces that appear in the book. Check out the "secrets and passions" parts of the book and you will find the meaning behind what you see below. You can see them in person on March 31st at the Ink Pad's panel discussion with some of the featured artists, that will take place at the Westbeth Center for the Arts in New York City. |

| "I AM" Mixed Media Self Portrait 24"x30" - Cradled board, copper sheeting (drawing and painting into the copper), twinrocker handmade paper, Golden Heavy Gel Medium, vintage fabric, stitching, acrylic paint. |
 |
| "Secrets at the Beach" Mixed Media - 22"x26"- same materials as above, except for the cradled board. |
 |
| "Homage to Seth's Making Waves Series"- Any idea what the hands are doing? (answer at the end of the post) Thanks to my husband Bob for being my "somewhat willing" model for the hand sketches. |

| Guess who ? Check out the guy in the mirror. That is Seth holding that old brown bag. Why is he holding it and why is someone taking his picture? There we were, having a nice lunch in Chelsea before going to see the Anselm Keifer exhibit at the Gagosian Gallery. My friend Elizabeth mentioned that she had passed an old velvet bag a few blocks back next to a trash can. So? Seth decided to go back and retrieve it. It was a "keeper". So........question to Seth, can you just tell us ONE place in New York that you would say would be the best place to find" hidden treasure"???? Putting you on the spot here? |
 |
| First meeting. Me, Seth and our talented aussie friend Judy Wilkenfeld in New York a few years ago.......and speaking of Monsters of Art.......another question, Seth. Being an art critic for Nearsay New York, do you have a favorite venue for art gazing? Seth answers some questions!~!!!!
Favorite venue for art gazing? Hmmmm....that would include Pavel Zoubok Gallery (not for the space but for the always-sensational exhibitions they present), MoMA (for both artwork and their 'new' building), and Sotheby's Auction House
(I think the art world's best kept secret as anybody can go in free of
charge and view the exhibitions before every auction AND see
unbelievable art that might never again be exhibited).
Looking forward to the answers from someone who is an expert on the art scene in the "big apple" and it would seem on everything else he touches, including his incredible artwork. Answer to what the hands are doing- sign language spelling... P-U-L-S-E! The dictionary says the definition of the word PULSE - The rhythmical throbbing of ART-eries produced by the regular contractions of the heart......or in this case, the regular CONTRIBUTIONS of the ART-ists. |
