STONES TOO - 4 panel installation A/C
9x7 feet, 2008
•poetic Dialogue collaboration with poet Cynthia Hogue
“Stones, Too” grew out of the imaginative collaboration of artist Mirjana Ugrinov and poet Cynthia Hogue.
The dialogue in the poem is transformed into the visual layers and discrete borders in the painting:
“I hear words but see images. There was an event that becomes a story in the poem, more allegorical
than real.“
"I use the poem as an inspiration for imagery. I explore surface and composition in the painting."
“Words come to me but not colors. Stones, too, have colors.”
“I welcome the challenge of another art form to guide me in visual expression by inviting the new--
new approaches to color, texture and the materials that I use.”
“The lines of the poem are like the planes of color in the painting.”
“The emotional content of the poem becomes a vehicle of expansion."
(STONES TOO was inspired by
Cynthia Hogue's poem STONES).
