Winter Watch by jgyoungmd

 

She ran by
at walk pace
athletic garb on
trying to get thinner
while the trees
had already disrobed
and ice settled into the creek.
Couples wintertalk by
little noticing
other sticks racing
up the path
as I sit watching
from my window.

Gift Rapt Plus (DVD)

Gift Rapt [45 min.] “In this one man holiday show at Macky Auditorium Gallery at the University of Colorado, I look at the gift of NOW. Poems set the stage for this conceptual show. Some are serious, others comic; some rap and some rapture. The multi-media art works, like the poems, are multi-layered suggesting multiple meanings. In this my creative Now, I am exploring text, texture, lift-offs, collage and graphics, and gift-wrap it to you.”

The video Gift Rapt is followed by several video shorts of varying types from simple cellphone videos to complex edgy, graphic works.  The final Half to Whole is a summary video for the workshop, Love and Y(our Creative Adventure..

Back to blogging

Since the last blog last year, I reached 90 videos on www.YouTube.com/jgyoungmd, got juried into art shows at Open Studios, Core Art Gallery “Wordplay” show, the Louisville National Fine Arts Show and have had two one man shows at Studio Two Gallery at Rembrandt Yard. I discovered www.soundclick.com/jgyoungmd where you can download individual pieces of my music and www.lulu.com/jgyoungmd where you can obtain my books, videos, CDs, and DVDs.

I have been more interested in new media art combining poetry, music, painting, graphics, photography into experimental video. It is wonderful being retired from psychiatry and into a new career as a full-time multi-media artist.

Less

This subtle play on words explores the role of abstraction in art and asks, “A picture is worth a thousand words” or is it?

Strangers to Themselves

Freud saw Leonardo da Vinci as a repressed homosexual; Jung develops the idea of the the animus [the male side of woman] and the anima [the female side of man] which may be seen in the complex personalities of Leonardo, Mona Lisa, Mr. Lisa, and man/woman-kind. What was the Mona Lisa thinking? We are truly strangers to ourselves.

Strangers

His life of obscure poetry
So unique
It was hard to understand
What plagued him.
Only with great effort
Could I begin to glimpse
What he meant
But most remained hidden
In his own private world
Undisturbed by me.

Her feelings were hid
beneath her facial mask,
though for my help
she sure did ask.
She talked a lot
but made no sense.
It was easy to spot
her ambivalence,
for in her way
pretense was defense.
Though she came so close,
she remained far away.

Doggerel

This video poem is presented by our dog, Sophie. The pun of dog and doggerel is intended.

What would it be like
to lead a dog’s life
and not know
you lead a dog’s life?
I do.

I had over-parked my time
with wretched rhymes
and jingle-jangle lines.

My metered mind
had run out of nickels,
so I began to write free verse.

I moved to assonance
and dissonance,
from passonance to pissonance
and found myself
the dog’s delight.
