Work in progress: Killers of the State

Killers of the State.
(oil on masonite board)

I started this painting of Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton Sunday, July 11th. This is my second painting of Condoleezza and my first of Hillary. As of now I'm working on the under painting which tends to take me a while with oil paint. I'm mostly focused on temperature and tonal values at this stage. It just so happens that I fell into a red, white and blue color scheme.
The first Condoleezza Rice portrait is below.

In Conde We Trust. (acrylic and collage on board)
2005.

Artist, Robbie Conal told me the collage was unnecessary. Robbie Conal was wrong. If you read the text (I encourage you to do so) then you see how very necessary it is. We often skim over or over look the truth. Our leaders rely on our mental laziness to achieve many of their corrupt goals.
Wake up and read between the lines.

" Of War and Weaving " is a reference to the Egyptian goddess Nit (Neith). Much of META makes reference to a number of women in history, myth and folklore.

META : Book IV

If Book III is a love song, then Book IV is a song of mourning.

2.) We Won the Battle. (collage, acrylic, ink and white charcoal)

3.) Electromagnetic Fields. (collage, acrylic, ink and white charcoal)

4.) Reflections. (collage, acrylic, ink and color pencil)

The electromagnetic field is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field. Light is the electromagnetic field in a certain frequency range. At lower frequencies the electromagnetic field may be radio waves or infrared light, while at higher frequencies it may be UV light or x-rays, among others.

The electromagnetic field extends indefinitely throughout space and describes the electromagnetic interaction. It is one of the four fundamental forces of nature (the others are gravitation, the weak interaction, and the strong interaction). The field propagates by electromagnetic radiation; in order of increasing energy (decreasing wavelength) electromagnetic radiation comprises: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

private revelations, visions, dreams, meditation, prayer, ecstasy, mystics, seers (1. The Awakening 2. Purgatory 3. Illumination 4. Dark night 5. Transcendental ) dimensional reality shifts

Being insofar as being goes_ being in terms of being. Causality, substance, species, elements, relation, interaction and finitude.

Every image evolved over the course of the year. While I was creating a new collage on a blank page, I was going forward or backward and adding and subtracting from pages. This book has been a very personal experience for me. It is very much a visual narrative and you can start anywhere in the book and land on a story. I am especially fond of Book III. I regard it as a love song made with scissors and glue.
