I thought you\u2019d enjoy the following. It\u2019s a \u201cpoem\u201d I constructed out of the titles of Anne\u2019s recent work.<\/p>\n

In preparation for the Festival of Arts in Laguna where she has summer-long involvement, she\u2019s been producing new art . . . marvelous art, I might add. Besides her great pieces she also adds (after the fact) the most evocative and interesting titles. As I help her, for the sake of her website, with the photography and photoshop work to follow, I interact with the titles. In doing so, this time I sensed a theme coming through. Though there was nothing conscious about it, and the titles were put on in random order at different times, I put them together in a paragraph.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m calling all this Anne\u2019s hidden (and unconscious) message, ultimately deciphered by me.<\/p>\n

Here’s the list of titles (with sizes), followed by my sentences.<\/p>\n

Ascension, 15×8
\nBargaining Power, 17.5×12
\nBy Mutual Agreement, 18×12
\nChange of Direction, 11×9
\nConcealed Consequences, 16×20
\nConsidering Options, 11×9
\nDelicate Demands, 20×16
\nDivided Attention, 14×20
\nElevated Appointment, 15×9
\nEngaged in Play, 16.5×20
\nEntitled to Play, 13×16
\nField of Vision, 19.5×13
\nFragrance of Hope, 11×10
\nLiberating Yesterday, 20×45
\nMuted Memory, 12.5×10
\nOpening Doors, 10×24
\nOpen Invitation, 15×10
\nOrbiting Obscurity, 11.5×10
\nOverlooking the Past, 22×16
\nProfound Promise, 20×12
\nPromised Perspective, 10×14
\nQuiet Devotion, 11.5×10
\nRestoring Faith, 11×9
\nSet Free, 21×10
\nVoices of Yesterday, 11.5×10
\nWilling to Ascend, 20.5×11.5<\/p>\n

Here’s my take on her “hidden message”:<\/p>\n

By mutual agreement<\/span>, using all bargaining power<\/span> and considering options<\/span>, putting aside concealed consequences<\/span> of delicate demands<\/span>, orbiting obscurity<\/span> and divided attention<\/span>, I propose an open invitation<\/span> for overlooking the past<\/span> and the muted memory<\/span> of voices of yesterday<\/span>. Yes, a change of direction<\/span>, an elevated appointment<\/span>, an ascension<\/span>, an opening doors<\/span> . . . all for a fragrance of hope<\/span> that will include the promised perspective<\/span> of a quiet devotion<\/span> and a restoring faith<\/span> . . . a field of vision<\/span> with a profound promise<\/span> that you (and we) will be set free<\/span>. How? By liberating yesterday<\/span>, by being engaged in play<\/span> . . . even entitled to play<\/span>. Are you willing to ascend<\/span>?<\/p>\n

When I read this to Anne she found it delightful. Maybe you too?<\/p>\n

BTW, all these works can be viewed on her website, by name, under \u201cNew Work,\u201d here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lots of her work, and mine, and daughter Allison’s\u00a0will be on display at our show this weekend. Here’s the announcement. Come if you can.<\/span><\/p>\n
