(aka Mercede Spies)
Spinning wildly out of control and at the same time calm and beautiful in its nature, my art is an expression of who I am, the way I think and the way I see the world. I pile layers of brilliantly hot color, energetic scribbles and I scratch away just the same, sometimes bursting with impatience, others sensitive and soft.
I spontaneously free flow, grabbing words and images from my surroundings, a conversation I’m having, the person sitting next to me, YOU, a song I am listening to, the story my mind is telling me.
This combination of random is precisely what dictates its unpredictable perfection, wabi sabi style, as my art is also a tapping into life force languages, foreign and yet ever so familiar.
Listen and you will be spoken to. Speak and you will be heard.
I am honored to be conversing with you as part of the visual arts crew at Emrg+N+See 2009. Till then…
