Meandering
A VIEW ON CREATION, PROCESS, SUBJECT AND CONTENT
The Meandering series was conceived in 2009 for the purpose of changing from painful burdensome images to a world where aesthetics, tranquility, and beauty reside.
Bringing the Armenian Genocide to life in my art for many years, especially on a large scale of savage imagery was was coming to an end.
This is where color, coupled with graceful linear movements compliment the quiet proximities of linear movement to each other leaving behind a beautiful trail of passing moments that was.
Evolving such an image didn't take long. Surprisingly, an early monoprint of mine titled Figurative Meandering turned up (See Right side for image) that received Honorable Mention Award. This was an inspirational image that seemed perfect for my new series of monoprints.

The movement of the painted rope seemed to configure into the fragmented outline that appeared to be undulating the linear contours conveyeing the idea of what I was seeking. It left me with a new inspirational image to explore. This monoprint series was titled the Meandering series.
Creating the first image was exciting. The graceful, rhythmic, undulating lines against beautful background colors sets the tone. The linear personalities of of every movement are coupled in a relational dance of changing proximities to each other, The graceful character of every undulation pass each other ever so slowly and quietly, without a hint of discomfort to one another. Collectively they express the moment of beauty, togetherness, and the eternal the invisable passing of time.
