Really great work. And I like how each is a pair of both art and poetry.

John Clinock’s art is abstractly suggestive and tentatively provocative, cleverly interweaving colours, textures and densities to produce varied contrasts, zonal contours, layered tapestries, as well as nuanced interplays between clarity and ambiguity.

Brave and Bravo at once!

    I would like to suggest that when using my short critique of your selected oeuvres on your resume and elsewhere, it would be helpful to your fans and followers if you could append the following credit to the critique as follows:

  Thank you so much Tori. Sometimes the poems I write evoke the art and sometimes vica versa. When the pairing works it’s doubly satisfying…

  I was always captured by Escher. Matter of fact I am going to work on a piece using his style today.

  Thanks LK – I’m flattered to remind you of Escher but of course am worlds away from this master’s vision and skill.
