The Muse

c2011                             diana doors            Shelley Vaughn Hulsey 

Reflections of shimmery light, the glow of a gas lamp in New Orleans on a steamy night, the reflection of a silvery moon on water that is my MUSE.  It is the way light travels through a dense fog or twinkles from the stars above that move me to pick up my camera.  

It is an urge I can simply not pass up, but it is within this space that I find the blur. That moment between excitement, reflection and knowing.  I would say it's kind of like the philosophy of being,
but with the added verb: action.

I feel that most of my work reflects that very instant, the  moment of inspiration.  It is in that moment that the muse hurdles a lightning bolt in my direction and I have to capture its light at warp speed. It would be great if I always carried my good camera, but I am a 21st century artist and my "camera" comes in many forms these days. My point & shoot or my phone for example.  Why pass up an opportunity to share the light with you, dear reader?  

It is my mission to capture the blur the light and send it your way.

Love and glitter my friends. Love and glitter. 

~Shelley

The Dharma Bums

c2011 Shelley Vaughn Hulsey

‎"I saw that my life was a vast glowing empty page

 

and I could do anything I wanted."

 ~Kerouac, The Dharma Bums (1958)

Working: the collectives

Recently worked on my new photographic series, as well as 2 collaborations. One being a collection of avant guard sound art with Thaniel Ion Lee, 3Haiku. The other is the brain child of J.B. Wilson, Post No Bills. Super charged art using every type of medium we can get our hands on. For the project with J.B. Wilson we are documenting this as the "EXPERIMENT". Works to include Russel Hulsey, J.B. Wilson, and me Shelley Vaughn Hulsey. About 6 months before my move to Philadelphia I am cranking out projects left and right. 

It's go time baby!

WE WANT YOU

Last week I started working on a project with two other Louisville artists,  J.B. Wilson and Russel Hulsey. We have started an art collective called "the Experiment" where we will be documenting our experiences as a group, creating works without the preconceived intention of product.  The overarching idea is pure spontaneity.


This project will span the summer months of 2011 in which we will each pose a different approach to how we "attack" a studio session (an all out painting frenzy).  Just release.  We are interested in how this process will challenge each of us individually and as a collective.  We will be examining the concept of "the whole is equal to the sum of it's parts," confronting "chance operations," and dealing with self ego. 


Follow us on our creative journey! Check back for more:)

Creating Sounds

In the studio working on a new concept album with Thaniel Ion Lee, Russel Hulsey and myself as 3Haiku. We are an ambient, spoken word, sound art collective started in 2011. Our first release will be available April 1st  on bandcamp.com . I'll keep you updated as to links etc.
