The creative process of this series evolved from my original hand painted silks, cut into (30+) strips. Each strip is an original image, design, icon or symbol. The use of strips reflect a heritage of textile making throughout African Diaspora.
These strips are stitched together forming a picture plain of dynamic energy. This energy does not allow the eyes or mind to focus. It is disturbing, entirely too much information at one time, overload. This energy is the planet Mercury.
The name of this series of (10) is title" Mercury Retrograde". Planet Mercury is the ruler of our mind, intelligence, memory and all types of communication. Retrograde is a pause in the movement of the planet causing a time period to reflect. The main mission of this series was to complete things unfinished.
Merging thirty plus strips stitched together forming a picture plain of dynamic energy. This energy did not allow the eyes or mind to focus. It was over stimulating the sense organ. This disturbance in the creative process was resolved. Textile fabric color markers and pens were layered on top of the original silk paintings as needed.The lines and the color medium enabled the creative process to blend. The picture plain has become a dynamic force of energy, movement, and sound stimulating the many senses.

Biographie
James Brown, Jr's., journey began in Harlem, New York City in 1939.
His cultural experience was felt immediately as his Mother traveled with him to Florida every year for the next ten years. In Florida, Brown experienced the old South on the family farm located in an African village hidden away in the Ocala forest. The land was part of the homestead of his Great Grand Father an Africcan who had run away from slavery in South Carolina. His escape happened after he had been shot in the head and left for dead.
In Harlem the cultural manifestations in the community were new beginnings for all the Black folk who had migrated North. These were the years of the Depression and WWII, all of which influenced Brown's earliest memories and subsequent works of art.
Brown began drawing and painting by the age of four. He first began studing oil painting in 1954 while in High School. Later in 1958 he attended the Arts Students League then for the next ten years the school of Visual Arts, all on a part-time schedule.
The artistic images produced by James Brown, Jr., over fifty years and counting represent an accumulation of the history he lived through, cultures he experienced, and wisdom he accumulated. In 2012- 13 Brown's lifelong accomplishments as an artist were recognized when he was selected as one of ten Washington, DC artists to participate in ArtCart: Saving the Legacy project of the Research Center for Arts andCulture, National Center for Creative Aging. The project documents the work of selected artist, ages 62-100 years old and archives the data at the Columbia University's open source archive, Academic Commons. The washington, DC artists were featured in "Cherishing The Legacy", an exhibition of their works held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art-College of Art & Design, September 11-29, 2013.
