1057 Black

At the conclusion of the film 2001 there is the scene where the space traveller is reaching the end of his life, having appeared to have lived in a room an eternity in comfort but alone with his knowledge and memories at one isolated point in the universe.He and his companions embarked on the journey after the unearthing of a black monolith on the moon which then appeared among the stars. The film had opened among early human life and the first

appearance of the monolith.Blackness has become associated with death, the sinister, the secretive and the Gothic. Since separating myself into my being past and being present I have travelled through many portals re-examining previous and new experience, but did not decide on what part the concept would play in my work until an exhibition of sculptures by Eva Grubinger at the Baltic at Gateshead, Tyneside. I began the purchase of four drawer black filing cabinets to secure the confidentiality of previous life. There are ten in process at present placed to remind when I eat, work, relax and sleep.When the work is ready for exhibition the cabinets will be weld sealed although it is hoped that those who experience their presence will feel something of the power of the life now imprisoned.

People are afraid of the color black because they do not understand that black is not the absense of ......that would be clear.In many cultures they viewed black as a color of great significance and protection. Even the gothic gargoyles most think creepy were supposed to be a sign of protection.It is also said that 98% of matter is what scientists call dark matter. This term is misleading because this dark matter they speak of only appears black to them. Our pupils are only allowed to take in a controlled amount of light and when we look out into space it appears dark,but this is just illusion. If we were able to take in all light we would be blinded so the grand designer gave us smaller pupils only allowing us to take in the light energy that is directed at us. We literally turn a blind eye to light.In conclusion what we perceive as dark matter is merely light we cannot see!peace love chaos
