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.

Barefoot white Chick on Cocaine

BAREFOOT WHITE CHICK ON COCAINE (SONNET 1)

You thinking about a not quite super model
toasted on cocaine, taking her shoes off
corner of 5th Ave./ Central Park West
waving them around her like Audrey Hepburn
high on champagne. Tax records show
you back in Wyoming, healthy, jogging,
tax records show you’re the only one
who pays taxes in Wyoming. Only one who reads
New York Review of Books. You thinking about
Classical German Philology on the way to work.
Your thinking on models of thought would seem to fit:
Bordeaux has something in it. Roughly 12%. Is that enough?
I wish Nietzsche had said: if they don’t kill you—people
with significant flaws, minor virtues, licking their lips—
they will make you stronger.
