Randy Jones Digital Dreams, 2013-2017, Date acquired: 00/00/2017, bulk 2017 0.21 Linear Feet 1 boxes

 
Jones, Randy
This collection consists of digital artwork and poetry from artist Randy Jones, who provides the following statement about the work featured in the Digital Dreams collection: "My digital paintings reflect what I respond to. There is joy in the arrangement and design elements and colors within a composition. And there is beauty of varied shape and form. Familiar, comfortable objects like fruit or books express the fragility of the moment, but also becomes something eternal and timeless frozen forever in the picture. "Durability," "immortality." And symbolism. Things I respond to--all objects have significance. Personal and profound symbols. The more we look, the more we see. Most importantly we see that transient beauty can become transformed consciously and subconsciously. It is awareness of response: what do objects on a shelf become for us? Symbols, memories, expressions, feelings. Together with the highest level of my ability the still-life objects in my paintings make my work meaningful. Most of all, my work is therapy for me and an essential part of my recovery. Whoever you may be reading my poems and viewing my pictures I want to thank you, and I hope you will be pleased and find something worth learning and considering. Much of this new art was created when my life partner, Wilbur T., was diagnosed with lung cancer, ultimately passing away in February of this year after a lengthy nursing center stay. My work covers a range of topics: love, loss, art, memories and finally, hope. Perhaps, you too may find a bit of yourself here."
