"Floral Word"

"Floral Word"
36" x 48" x 1.5"

Word is the smallest free form in a language. Floral is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. According to Harkrader, words can be sexy and/or reproductive, especially in this painting. Some of the letter-words are collage and some are hand-painted-falling away from those above. Inside the dark center of the red floral shape resides a 'sex in the city' collage. Other embedded collage words is an image torn from an art magazine that shows a well know artist's word images projected on urban architecture. There is text from an antique book in Greek and excerpts from the 'Woman's Comfort Book'. Florals, live or rendered, are erotic in shape and definition, alluring in smell and sight. The previous sentence are words, therefore words can be erotic and alluring.

I found this lovely specimen on the sidewalk outside my studio. It was not alive and one wing was only slightly damaged. I embedded it onto the textured canvas face of one of my paintings and embellished it's antenna with two blue Swarovski crystals.

Red Word

Red Word

12" x 9"

This minimal composition is from Harkrader's 'Word' series. It is mixed media with collage. The generous red background has room to rest, in as much one can rest being surrounding by the energy of red (power). Red lines intersect in the upper right quadrant providing the only static position. The simple waves of red and black horizontals provide the little motion that exists in this paper on foam core framed in black. The rotund shape in the lower right provides anchor which is kept in place by two white and black triangles above and below. The overall language conveyed to many viewing this work is Asian influence.
