Commentary on How Do How Do The Lovely Thing by Stephen Gambello
How Do How Do The Lovely Thing as a life work of S Brian Adam, does not begin,
nor does it end.
How Do How Do The Lovely Thing is concerned with existential freedom. It is a statement of identity that is
incontrovertible in its truth. In fact,
S Brian Adam's life work goes beyond truth.
It is loud, powerful, insistent, continuing noise, rhythm, vibration,
hum -- it transcends morality.
Images: visual engagements with
light, dark, colors of the spectrum -- shapes we may or may not recognize,
bathed in the mysterium of the blackness-darkness or whiteness-lightness of its
prevailing background....
Words: fleeting, innocent, open,
fully imagining inferences -- recognized words arranged in an unrecognizable
manner -- a syntax that knows itself,
creates within itself, words that describe the inexplicable, indescribable
feeling of being....
Sounds: notes, one after another, some louder, some softer, the piano, the
organ, the streaming of thought as sonorous information, the song becomes the
spirit of sentience -- as the Opuses of S Brian Adam color the imagery -- accompanying the presentation of the videos.
How Do How Do The Lovely Thing is a return to primal thought. Yet, it is refined primacy -- it
allows for the delicate expansion of a consciousness, it recognizes its purpose
within the scheme of the Universe; it
reaffirms the sense of self as aware, vital, instrumental component of the
living, perfecting whole....
S Brian Adam moves without fear
within his creation. He is alone, in
that he does not court humanity, its ideas, its customs, its rationalizations,
its measurements...
S Brian Adam is alone from the ego
fulfillment of humanity, but he is intimately courting the Universe in all its
limitless offering. The flow of existence is his companion, friend, teacher,
lover....
He recognizes the shape of the mind
as the shape of the Universe -- one,
unity, completeness -- mind-Universe:
no boundary --no description.
Mr. Adam plunges into the abyss --
and it is the acceptance of existence as prime mover, effecting
understanding: education of the self as
proxy to Universe enlightenment.
We are the benefactors of
existence's wisdom. We know, in our contemplative
silence what is....
