“Under the Rubble”
I was feeling dark today.
I looked at a scrap I have painted on that is hanging in my studio saying I AM LANGUISHING.
I imagine that’s how everyone in Gaza is feeling.
I didn’t feel like doing my daily piece.
But I knew that the effort is nothing compared to having to live through daily hell.
I thought of Colin McCahon’s I AM works and it led me to his
work SCARED from 1976
“McCahon often used the word ‘scared’ in discussing his art. As he refined his work, paring it back to essentials, he was frequently plagued with doubts and fears. Scared can be seen as a highly personal work, an allegory of the artist’s life, but its cry is also a universal one — a call of protest and a demand to take action.” J Trevelyan
A call of protest and a demand to take action!!
So here is todays piece accompanied by music @rogerwaters wrote Under The Rubble
It made more sense to call it other things but I saw this piece today by Roger and the darkness matched everything I am feeling.
