planetary
rainbow warrior
dreamtime goddess
i felt a delightful tingle
of molecular excitement – electric!
& sensual in a long-forgotten
or just-remembered sense
those fluid lines & funky colors:
music to the eyes – they make one
realize what a spectacular gift
SIGHT is! oh i feel like jumping up &
dancing to that happy/lively/friendly
pulsating energy

i said:
you don’t need words to sell your
pictures, they have the power
to create their own demand
she said:
what do you see in my paintings?
for a start: the hologram of eve &
evolution; primary waveforms, photons,
molecules, cells; also algae, germs,
sperms, worms & axolotls; snakes,
fishes (all shapes & sizes), birds,
turtles, tetrahedral crystals &
quetzalcoatls (yes… the feathered
serpents of the aztecs!)
Piece by Dutch artist Corneille @ Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo (1922–2010) |
micro-macro-cosmic fractal images
such as one may find in the mindscapes
of aboriginal magic art, punk
guerrilla graffiti & some visionary
works by ernst, corneille, klee, miro
picasso, chagall et alia; or on
tibetan thangkas, guatemalan weavings,
precolumbian jugs & rugs
chromosomes at play:
highly neural (but unneurotic)
& erotic in a subliminal way –
none of that egocentric intellectualism
one finds in much of modern art –
do you know why this is so?
she said:
well, i was born in holland but
when i was 3 months old we moved
to curacao – i remember vividly
playing in the sea! later i shifted
to the desert & recently i experienced
the malaysian jungle – i like
movement!
do you mind being called a planetary
rainbow warrior dreamtime goddess?
she laughed
with childlike innocence
& the wisdom of the ancients
