The Unmistakable Verisimilitude of Linda Waterfall

"Nature embraces what we truly seek at our calmest moments; quietude, contemplation, moments of peace and clarity beyond the superficial fringe of mankind's thunderous clamor..."        
                      
                                         -anonymous observer from opening night 





Verisimilitude
 Pete Milosovich © 2011

Yearning for clarity among disparate ever changing landscapes remains pivotal to the uniqueness that characterizes ‘vision’, transfigured at the moment when the ideal and real intersect; truth in illusion always sought, semblance and manifestations that embrace seemingly contradictory verisimilitudes. This intersection becomes pivotal when the impetus must take shape, transform and ignite the imagination, or whither...

Only to die in 
  the ashes of complacency.

    

Patterns of earth tones, treacherous washes from the elegant brushstrokes of Linda Waterfall migrate in the hope of defining boundaries, rather than a pool of indefinable oblivion; muddled colors meaningless to the ‘vision’ Ms. Waterfall must preserve. Upon careful consideration the patterns of organic scenes create a remarkably subtle sense of depth when one retreats in actual distance from the picture plane.

Real or imagined this psychic journey admonishes the torments of literal meanings bound by dogma; forced psychic submissions that ultimately kowtow to the hierarchy of the greatest illusion of all…perfection, but ultimate perfection always sought elsewhere. Steely, unyielding beliefs that pluck petals of beauty and deeper meaning from the complacent and the ignorant muddled by confusion, and molded by delusion.

Taking careful steps through the wondrous landscape of  Ms. Waterfall’s imagination one becomes struck by the contradictory point when the ideal and the real never become reconciled. Transfigured visions of circular motifs, and ‘cycles’, unified from the apex of pain and struggle. Perhaps Ms. Waterfall seeks clarity through contemplation, denying dogmatic symbols of psychic oppression in order to liberate our sensibilities from the 


inorganic.
