Flash of Joy

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2004/02/flash-of-joy.html  

– Written in reaction to the response to the poem “Into Being”

by Roberta Woods –

“Love it!  You've captured the essence of writing not as a discipline but as joy.  And it is because it is pure joy (the agony comes later during revision) it is not a discipline in the sense of having rigid edges.  All doing from joy is a gift to the doer as well as the recipient whether cooking, writing, gardening or any other activity.  My joy activities are writing and carpentry.  All the rest require me to have discipline to get them done. –Roberta”

Into Being

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2004/02/into-being.html   

– About the process of writing as merely writing down the words, suggested by Roberta Woods earlier in the day. I see her point, based on the way my writing often comes quickly. Even when I edit it as I write, it is more to get it right/write. We had been talking about “one-book wonders” and had segwayed into a discussion of how she writes daily and how, when she starts writing a story, it often is prolific.

About the print show at Pierce Law by Aaron Brown of November 2003. He said the prints were about the events of 9/11/01, especially the twisted metal of the bombed buildings. They came months after the attack when he finally returned to print work after a lengthy hiatus when he wrote instead. His wife shared that they all came out in a burst of activity over a single week. Aaron would only get a few hours of sleep each night and was almost working round the clock in the studio. His activities were so frenetic and continuous that he left the paints out, and would merely spray them so they remained wet and fresh.

Email to the school by Sharon Callahan on 11/11/03 12:36 = Please enjoy our new exhibit which features the work of NH printmaker Aaron Brown. He will host a reception on Thursday, November 13th from 5:30 -7:30 if you would like to meet him. All exhibits at Pierce Law are donated by the artists for us to view, so this is a perfect time to say thank you.

Below is a news release on Aaron Brown's exhibit:

_OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WORK BY NEW HAMPSHIRE PRINTMAKER AARON BROWN ON DISPLAY AT FRANKLIN PIERCE LAW CENTER

CONCORD, NH -- The work of printmaker Aaron T. Brown of Lyndeboro, NH is currently on exhibit at Franklin Pierce Law Center, Two White St. The exhibit, which will be on view through January 5, 2004, features 55 abstract prints, utilizing intaglio and relief printing techniques.

A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, November 13, from

5:30 to 7:30 p.m.. The public is welcome to attend.

“I have been drawing abstract shapes since I was a child,” says Brown. “The designs I cut today come to me spontaneously in the moment, the same way my abstract drawings come to me. The saw is my pen. Each plate cut is kind of a dance of shapes that relate and interact with each other. My forms, to be sure, have been influenced by the natural forms I see in nature, and in a less obvious way from my love of the rhythm and balance I find in movement and music.”                                              

A juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, Brown created and cut complex three-dimensional puzzles for 15 years. While working as a woodworker, he studied intaglio printing at the Sharon Arts Center.

“I hand roll the ink onto each shape of an individual plate, and reassemble them, before putting them through the printing press, “ explains Brown.  “The colors of course, add a whole new dimension to the piece, and I generally do quite a bit of experimentation before setting on a palette that inspires me. So it seems, I’ve come a full circle.”

The exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 8 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am – 5 pm. For exhibit hours during the holidays, please call ahead for information, 603/228-1541.

Copernican Dilemma

Heresy
Changing the center
Of theology.

My world
Revolving
A different orb.

Rejecting
A false choice
Accepted on faith.

Wanting to avoid
Imprisonment
House arrest.

For speaking
Unadulterated
Truth.
