Joni's Interview Streaming http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=channel%3A51ae312b-0-249e-9b33-f4 6d043c7c8e&feature=iv&src_vid=dPYQA-tt42E&v=B8VQgRnghb8 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2013 06:08:51 -0700 (PDT) From: LC Stanley Subject: Re: Joni's paradox Hi Jim, I get what you are saying. I would add that it is her own unique Joni eye for detail. And to draw from her explanation of art, she is able to bring the "real" into the realm of "artificial;" and when she sees what she sees and then I see what she paints or hear what she sings, I'm moved even more than by the experience of the real thing she painted or sang about. Her artificial brings illumination to the real. What is imprinted in my mind comes more to life after seeing her paintings or hearing her songs. The beauty of this is even in the way she talks. She communicates so beautifully regardless of the medium. Joni's gift in my experience is communication. What she gives affects my brain chemistry in a powerful way and that is where the reality of her art occurs. She makes use of the brilliant color of illusion, and what she sings or paints becomes more vivid than life, or love, or clouds to me. That is Joni's paradox in my experience.

Now me. Yeah, I've thought about that too. Now I see the paradox backwards and it makes more sense. Joni doesn't have a painter's eye for detail any more than she has a photographer's eye for detail, or a water colorist's eye for detail, or a felt pen user's eye for detail, or a poet's eye for detail. She has an artist's eye for detail. It is a deeply ingrained attribute that is some sort of source or Muse. All of the songs and the paintings are projections from that source. The Muse is, in some miraculous way, agnostic to media.
