COLLABORATIVE PROJECT
Ran Ortner paintings play with tension and movement.
While here immersed in the dance of life, we live, we laugh, we love and connect.
Ran and I find that while tragic, life could not be more extraordinary, the ups and downs are mesmerizing.
Our collaboration is a celebration of our home, our body and our planet.
In the endless rhythms of the ocean we feel the pulsing of our hearts, the in and out of our breath. In art, like dance, we play amongst the bitter and the sweet, dark and light, strength and fragility, this is the music of our lives.
Each individual, like a wave moving through the ocean, dissipates. Waves are both connected to and are of the ocean. Like a leaf is connected to and is of the tree. So too, we as individuals are connected to humanity. This collaboration is both a nod to stillness and is a reminder that life can be lived wild and free like the waves of the ocean.
