The written word part of Whimsy is finished and here it is!

"She’s suspended above a million tiny blades of emerald knife-grass, dancing in an atmosphere embellished with fireflies. The boys chasing her with scraped knees will never catch up. She is crystalline, floating in an iridescent soap bubble of time, held there by the memories of the grandpas and grandmas on the rockers, also frozen on the porch. They say, Slow down, but they don’t want her to run any slower. The stars reflect and refract her infinite dance, bouncing and jigging through the universe, whirling like a ghost behind the eyelids of every parent and child. This night is memorialized in symphony, percussive ice in lemonade being stirred, strings the slow movement of wooden chairs, piano a wild jumble of little sneakered footsteps, and a pedal tone of grandiosity none can quite identify. The crushed earth wafts its rough smell up to their noses; the aroma of dinner is still lingering about their faces. The scents weave a veil around them, a sensory cocoon, an indescribable odor to be recalled later. Their lips taste salty with anticipation, sweet with curiosity, burning with happiness. Years later when the girl is sitting at her kitchen table with coffee, getting ready for work, she will suddenly remember. The world now as it was then, graspable in her tiny hands. A memory can set a thousand spheres of metamorphosis swirling quietly through our lives. She lands and keeps running, playing, passing the house and disappearing into the arms of the purple evening."

The next piece for As Seen By Three is going to be...(drum roll) Whimsy! Sara, Shane and I will be working together to express our personal views of the emotion whimsy. Excerpts and pictures are soon to come. Meanwhile Loss is getting closer and closer to completion, and it's shaping up to be very exciting! Keep checking here to see it all take shape.

OkcCoCo, the Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative, has asked for As Seen By Three to appear at their space sometime next year, the first organization to do so. The CoCo is an innovative new space designed for creative, entrepreneurial and technical minds to meet and work together and hopefully it will be just the first of many venues our show will be displayed in. Keep checking here for updates and new pictures of the work!

More progress on "Loss" by Sara Scribner

" There is a feeling, like the sensation when you can't quite shove the word on the tip of your tongue out through your teeth, that now plagued the man constantly. His every thought stumbled around like a toddler in a dark room full of sharp corners and the effort of maintaining that struggle was shredding the fabric of his mind. Anyone who has a typical level of mental agility would find this particular brand of suffering hard to comprehend. They possess the luxury of being able to remember where they left their keys or what color they painted their walls or what the wife who walked out on them a year ago used to order when she came to the coffee shop."

That's an excerpt from the piece I'm writing to depict Loss, in conjunction with Shane and Sara's paintings.

As Seen By Three

2009-11-03T12:38:00.000-08:00

A collaborative project by Sara Scribner, Shane Scribner and Wesley Clark Young is in the works. As Seen By Three aims to express something meaningful about the human condition by exploring three different artists perspectives on universal emotions. Sara and Shane will be producing pieces of visual art while Wesley (Me!) writes a piece of short fiction to accompany each work. The show will open at the Scribner's personal gallery in Enid, Oklahoma with showings in other Oklahoma galleries pending. Updates, photos and excerpts will be available here!
