RE. NORTH FORK ARTS PROJECTS

Well, it's no secret I love visual art. Thus, I'd opened an Art & Conversation Gallery, North Fork Arts Projects. And now the Inquirer has done an article on this new project--click on link to see the article "New gallery in California celebrates Filipino art". What I present below is the original photo that they'd cropped for the top photo.  I like this photo's emphasis on ... the visual arts!

(Artworks by Isabel Cuenca on top left, Treva Tabios with next four 

paintings on wall, Maria Fatima Urbi with the painting I'm holding, 

and a sculpture by Napoleon Abueva on the floor.)

HOW'S ABOUT SOME ART?

"Modified Baybayin" by Rea Lynn de Guzman

I write on visual art not just because I love art but because art-writing flexes a different muscle and I'm trying to get at something impossible to say (which is why I'm a poet in the first place). Visual art offers the convenience of being visible so that whatever I say can be checked against that visibility. AND I also write as much as possible (and it's impossible) from an unmediated point of view -- based solely on what I see versus what I hear, to paraphrase that saying about blind collectors (cough). Anyway, for my latest blather on various artworks by Jean Vengua, Rea Lynn de Guzman, Matt Manalo, and VC Igarta, you are invited HERE.
