Here's a little window into my worldview...daily operation of working towards greater representation....
Dear Curators,
Enclosed please find a CD containing images of recent paintings from my Consciousness Series. I am seeking representation at your gallery and appreciate your taking the time to view my work.
Jill Joy, Wave, oil on canvas, 57x69x2.5”, 2014
This series of paintings, Consciousness, represents the culmination of 20+ years of spiritual and artistic exploration. Deceptively simple and subtly complex, like consciousness itself, they represent awareness of thought, emotion and human experience in a greater field of love. This work ties individual, inner experience to the external, physical world and as such communicate a mystical reality. Executed in a meditative trance, they become meditative objects, contemporary mandalas. In addition to the paintings there are a series of poems that accompany the work. If you are interested please let me know and I will provide them. I have included one example in this package.
A wave.
has crashed through my life
Separated me
from what has tormented me
and sustained me
I sit here in the silence
in the receding tide
Wondering.
what will become of me

I’m happy to answer any questions or provide you with any additional images or information. I would be extremely pleased and honored to be represented by your gallery. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Jill Joy
