PDX Art" Minimal subliminal" by Richard Schemmerer

"Holy Minimal & Subliminal"



In trust we trust promising not to break the law as if the law could be broken. We can only disown ourselves because we own nothing else and we can only break ourselves our own values.
Unless values are backed up on solid ground by firm principles we have no ground to stand on but are pretenders still waving happily while we are sinking deeper into our own folly.
Minimalism the memory that has not been reconfigured but lingers in the cradle of the subconscious
Wound. Traces of life can scratch open this wound of the subliminal world to release to trigger outbursts of emotions hidden behind the curtain of awareness.
Simplicity is not simple but deep and it requires frozen attention, a single eyed approach to get the encoded message. Conventional understanding is not required and notions of context are subverted.
What you see is not what you get is not what the message is about but what you feel has the desired impact.
Imagination is beyond logic and so is a surface so devoid of meaning that meaning alone is left.
No labels are necessary leaving us with the question:” How would we communicate if all preconceived taught symbols would be erased from our memory ban and our brain would have to invent new paths of sharing information”.
We’ll never know as we go on coping each other as if something holy could be revealed sequenced out from the trivial.

PDX Art: "Post It"

Post it

Post it a like a wish like a dream
As if you own it deserve it as if magic is possible
For once happening to you not to others
Not in the past not in the future but in this moment
Like if somebody forwarded you some luck
A break in the routine to solve everything
And even more















"Post It"
