In this blog we will share with you our vision of beauty, balance, harmony.

As Mark Leach writes in his book Raw Colour with Pastels: “Sound is all around us, and it is musicians who refine that sound into something of beauty. As a painter, I have always felt that my purpose is to craft colour in a similar way, to see through the confusion and seek harmony and beauty.”

And we add: Words, fragments of sentences, spoken noise is all around us, and Ken arranges words in such a way as to capture beauty in the accidental, the ambient soundtrack of life.

TO LIVE LIFE BETWEEN A BREATH

Contrary to expectations Isolda
stopped singing and Tristan froze
in space. The orchestra took industrial
action, walking out in mid-note, and the
conductor dropping his baton broke down
as Berlioz famously did, flinging himself over
the kettle drums, weeping copiously. Tristan says,
“Let’s make a move,” as Isolda slides forward and back
at the same time, seeming to defy physics,
but only in her mind. Smiles are what matter now. Words are
of less weight. Yet each encounter is a story. Narrative
abounds in an instantly bared shoulder; fingers press
yours as she hands you the change. A twitch
of sinew, all the flexed intensities of movement
caught in a web of unwavering attention. The conductor
walks slowly out of the theatre, climbs into a cab.
She’s from Puerto Rico, sits behind the wheel, will listen
to him, will change his life before the evening is over.
