I
have been a professional artist living and working in New York City
for more than four decades. I have exhibited my paintings here and
abroad and in conjunction with these shows a number of catalogs have
been produced and critical reviews and features have appeared in such
international publications as Flash Art, Art in America, Art Forum,
Art Net, Paper, NYARTS, Bomb, Details, Art News, Arts, and the
Village Voice. |

Statement
of
Future
Plans by Jamie Dalglish

I
have been asked often if I will continue painting morphoglyphs? I want
to take
the front seat of CulturalDNAism. I originated the word morphoglyph in
1991 to
define my painting. Morphoglyph. Morpheus. The son of the God of Sleep.
A
living language of the soul. Yielding vision into changing form. Morph.
Changing
forms. Glyph a secret writing. Cryptography. I view my art as "Sui
generis": a shared moment when some one's eye meets an other's
seemingly
held by their souls. So to answer may I continue morphoglph? It is the
artifact
between the I, and the we. Painting morphoglyphs is bridging dreams
into
visions. Wallace Stevens wrote "A poet's job is having nothing to do to
do
something". May I continue morphoglyph to paint morphoglyphs? I want to
unbrand to do no brand. To do morphoglyphs is to do unbranded. He/she
wants to
fly like a butterfly into the air. Creating color on the surface of
the morphoglyph paintings to reappear. The soul finds it's
technique
making available his gift. Timeless within time he's holding it near.
Feeding
on air. It is watching. Waiting. To reappear. Morphoglyphs. Draw.
Throw. Pour.
Scrape. This is an evolution for me, now is a time of change and
reinvention,
no longer working as an artistic duo (both in life and practice). My
life and
therefore work is set to transform in the wake of my recent divorce.
My
works have always raised questions about technique. I give no one
permission to
answer, because it is in my own soul that I find technique. The French
Philosopher, Merlo Ponte once said "The Painter takes his body with
him." Art is the art of becoming art. Morphoglyphs are interactive art.
The play of harmonic proportion. The formal approach being the
perfectly cut
equal birch panels. |
