In her Movement 8<\/a>, Binda made a praise song drawing for Jenny. On the back she wrote, \u201cLike a bell, she finds her tone.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019ve grown so appreciative, over these last five months, of the visual language Binda has developed, the expressive elements and grammar she combines in such unique and resonant ways. I decided that I wanted to try speaking Binda Colebrook Art.<\/p>

Last summer I bought a piece of Binda\u2019s called \u201cThe Periodic Table,\u201d which shares some pattern language with the bell praisesong image Binda made in Movement 8. \u201cThe Periodic Table\u201d hangs in my hallway and I pass it easily 50 times a day. This week I stood and studied it: the main central figure, the radiating energy lines, the energy lines that moved in different patterns from that, the iridescent paint over matte paint, the way she creates gradients and shadows in the background, the color shading… there\u2019s much more that goes into this series of Binda\u2019s paintings, but those were the main things I identified and wanted to try including in my own praise painting for her. \u00a0<\/p>

At Cross 9, Binda had talked about the mobius strip again \u2014 if you go through her artifacts, you\u2019ll see that it appears again and again. We\u2019ve also talked about the relationship of the mobius strip to the helices we\u2019ve been creating, the helix inverting to show its underside, the visual shift of the strands\u2019 appearing to cross while actually remaining separate \u2014 or, conversely, of appearing to be separate while actually being aspects of the same thing.<\/p>

\u201cInverse\u201d and \u201cconverse\u201d were topics we\u2019d discussed in recent movements, with Binda\u2019s reversed and re-forwarded footage and my own song \u201cRedo.\u201d The word \u201cverse\u201d jumped out at me from those words, because Binda is a fearless soundmaker \u2014 or, probably more accurately, she’s not fearless but she does it anyway, a quality I greatly admire. So I decided that the central figure of my painting would be a mouth made of a mobius strip. While I was at it, I thought I might as well put some vampire teeth in.<\/p>

Then I drove over to the Guild in Easthampton to get some metallic ink. There were so many colors that it was hard to choose, but when I picked up \u201cBell Bronze,\u201d I knew I had to use that in homage to Binda\u2019s Movement 8. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The third helix weaving in and out of our main helices is meant to represent Dale Rawlinson, our fire-making friend, whose art appears here<\/a> and elsewhere in this website.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
