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.

Take it Easy

Lipstick and Mascara I 20 x 20 cm / with mat 30 x 30 cm (part of a series) available





MOVING

I am moving
like in a painting
or in a movie
to an island
I am moving
some place in a south
where I imagine
anyway sitting beneath
a supple, leafy, dense entity
aggressive roots fingering thickly through
pale earth and sun hammered rock.
“It’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford…” no,
we are not in Winslow, Arizona. Turn off the radio.
It is an olive tree.
And it looks classical, with no odor.
Towards a white boob like thing
I am moving and fasten upon
a ripening nipple similar
to a raspberry-strawberry
confection-
ary’s delight. Or is it
the other way around? I just don’t know.
Ovid would say: “Every-
thing looks like something else.”
I can get into that.
I can meet him half
way turning
into something
vaguely intermediate
an “ambiguous thing.”
Fact, everything is something else.
Sometimes you only
need to unravel
your most recent skin
switch addresses
just before you harden into
empty phrases and stiffening smiles.
I can cope with that too.
The wind shapes us all
the sun carves into us
all and sometimes I feel like
a cicada in mid-hurricane
desperately rubbing
my legs together. And
sometimes I feel like a big
cat purring for my supper
amusing a particular
cluster of jaded rich folk
with their fascinators
barely shading the girth
of a Habsburg jawline.
