light: fleeting boundless
On the trail
or in river waters, I stop in my tracks often in mid-step momentarily
suspended: In space. In time. There in that stillness within, everything
breathes as one: wind, sun, voices in the water, trees… a-stir alive All at
once, moving as one, we co-create. Joyously. In silence. ##
Often, brief
verses such as these which E Bee wrote after yet another recent intense moment
of delightful art creation, encapsulate and express the profound wonder and
overwhelming gratitude she experiences at every turn as creation unfolds from
within her outward in front of her very eyes. And aether –that 'mysterious
substance once thought to suffuse the universe' as a dictionary puts it– is
alive and pregnant. Indeed, aether along with light, are the bountiful medium
and matrix that animate and drive her lens-based cross over conceptual art.
Aesthetically and conceptually, E Bee casts out
realism totally from her thought and creative process; intuitively allowing her
inner vision and consciousness to interact with movements of natural light in
time-space at the given moment. Technically, she deliberately use only her camera
as one would a paintbrush; consciously aiming not to capture pre-existing
objects, people or places; instead, to explore, tease out and
create one-of-a-kind unrepeatable ephemeral images that break through
surface physical reality. Racing after movements of light, she literally ‘paints’
expressionist imagery, unexpected vantage points and perspectives, bridging
the edges between photography and painting, both in character and impression.
And, later even more deliberately, I do not digitally manipulate nor add
strokes nor filters to my images, post-creation.
Completely
self-taught, her work has been jury-selected for live auctions at museum art
gala fundraising events. Occasionally, as her work schedule as an IT business
co-owner and graphic designer allows, she has joined online art competitions
which has consistently awarded her art. Her work manifests vivid expressions of
typically unseen yet often powerfully-felt vibrations in the aether, the
inescapable frequencies surfacing from deep within our consciousness, both as
singular soul interacting with a universal collective and what we know as All
That is. She moves and flows into moments of creation without any definitive
plan formulated. Nonetheless, while each moment is seemingly a blank slate and
state in time space, it is ever so full, energetically, of the myriad hopes,
dreams, intentions of actualization for oneself and for All. Nothing comes from
nothing. E Bee invites the world to keep
an open mind and an open heart; to wonder at, and embrace All That Is, both seen and unseen.
'Zeitgeist:
Within Without' and ‘Persistence of Being’ are two ongoing series of exploration she
began early 2020. As with all her previous lens-based works, she uses the
camera to create (not take) one-of-a-kind, unrepeatable images that inevitably
express a quantum moment : a veritable authentic slice of infinitely
tantalizing possibilities. Each imagery made possible by light, consciousness
and seeing eye; made real and tangible. As before and as always, she does not
manipulate any of her images, digitally or otherwise.
Today, as E Bee continually seeks to prove, to
discover and find deeper and wider creative expressions of one person’s dynamic
relationship with the aether and its myriad energetic abundance, she
carves out time almost daily to create experimental crossover visual imagery.
She stays active with galleries, art buyers as well as online platforms and
media; local and international. Her work has been featured in Arizona,
Virginia, NYC, San Francisco, Oregon, London, Zurich, Lisbon, and won citations
and awards online, art events, magazines.
