Assuming we are able and willing to remember our pasts. This was an interesting point Stephanus talked about, how after world war 2 his few remaining family members never talked about those years and much was buried in silence in an attempt to move forward after the unthinkable.

What a fantastic interaction of collage making, process& memory (&AI?).

Bravo!

Nice article and love the photo of the two of you.

This past Sunday, we met some new friends for lunch, Phil and Judith. (We had met him before, but he wanted us to also meet his wife.....who is lovely.) His wife is a wonderful artist, creating a lot of beautiful, floral designed art with watercolors, which she intends to make into note cards.

I told her about our desire to create a piece of art, Chuck Close style, with the many stamps my husband collected over the years as a young man. (We are not artists at this level by any means, but it could be fun to try, particularly since they are not rare stamps, nor do they have any significant value, nor do we have anyone to leave them to that has any interest.)

Judity told me she used ChatGPT to assist her in creating a design for her watercolors and suggested we use it to help us in the stamp idea art. I guess we need to get a ChatGPT for Dummies, huh?

I so love to see what other artists create and your writing about Bernie's work was quite intriguing to me. I believe true artist such as yourself and Bernie will integrate their pasts (and present) into their work even within the abstract as well as the a composition with obvious symbols and recognizable objects. We create what we know and are instead of merely having a blank mind and just sticking objects together as in assemblage or putting pieces of paper onto a backdrop just because in a robotic way, I don't see doing any of that with a blank mind.....thoughts, feelings, meaningful opinions, choices, all affect the art from the subtle to the obvious. As human beings, we're creating and expressing what matters and not just because the finished product is a pretty thing that matches the colors of the sofa.
