- Harnett-Hargrove
- Jayne A. Harnett-Hargrove is a working artist, cross trained in the traditional arts whose output encompasses word-wrangling, illustration, bricolage, a quarterly zine entitled Meraki Issue, costume design for opera, immersive, and other theatrics. Jayne moves deftly through these traditional arts, creating narrative shards exploring memory, history, and myth. Her overriding drive to create is to experience the human condition with mindful compassion, frustration, and fear that we collectively experience. She has written, painted & designed on four continents, while lending her hands for mentoring, exhibiting art along the way, while emulating her heroes, Bouboulina, Hundertwasser, and Joan DeArc. She has lived in the shadows of the Rockies, in Joshua Tree desert, in iconic Florence, and on the Libyan shore of Crete — and continues this tradition for work and other pleasures as an important part of her inspiration and musing. She currently lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville NC, but her heart always seems to be miles away. Learn more: harnetthargrove.com

intersting bit of word and art...each of the 3 word pieces play well...the laundry, statue and the head...as i said interesting...
ReplyDeleteIs this part of your Minotaur series? I don't understand it but I'd love to know the back story. He should stop worrying, she's still washing his shirts.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've asked before but where do you come up with your quotes or do you originate those as well? There is no attribution so...
ReplyDeleteThis is a pleasant juxtaposition of image, color and thought.
Baino, this has to do with a 80 page codex 'Parallel Lines Tend to Neglect'. Just finishing up a few pages I had overlooked. There is a cycling thread of a simple story, the side story and a footnoted story, on each page. And yes, it does have the laundry-cycle thrown into the mix.
ReplyDeleteCC - Yes, it's me. -J
compasion without emotion.
ReplyDeleteit reminds me of the mantra: gate gate para gate
Having a snowy Halloween? I would imagine you've come up with some amazing costumes in your day. Have a fun one.

Interesting choice of word, "vocation." It seems to me the compassion offered by too many vocations is issued along with the safety shoes pocket protector, and other accoutrements of the job.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous image - but they always are. As for compassion and emotion, I always thought of them as being life companions.
ReplyDeleteisn't it the importance of really helping...compassion without emotion
ReplyDeletesitting down crying with the cryer doesn't help, is that what you mean?
the artwork is fantastic!
Fascinating and exquisite page. One that really makes me think.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that compassion without emotion is rare. Perhaps even impossible.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! = Cheers!
