Poem by Dennis Patrick Slattery Night Life

Something pithy perhaps like a late night serenade strummed and sung just above a whisper for her ears only A song like contraband hustled across borders where no wall or fence has yet been built He knows the cadence she prefers the rhythm that touches her insides and yes, the moon must be full so the music can hit its mark be remarkable Then love can wash up behind the notes and engulf them both and the blue guitar. Dennis Patrick Slattery, Ph.D. is core faculty, Mythological Studies Program, Paciﬁca Graduate Institute. He is the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of 27 volumes, including 6 volumes of poetry and one co-authored novel. He has also published over 200 articles in magazines, newspapers, journals, and on-line journals. Two of his poems were nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

Interview with John Nava

Exploring Paradise Found?

By Kerry Methner, PhD / VOICE

��

HE LARGEST CATHEDRAL IN LOS ANGELES, OUR LADY OF ANGLES, �� VOICE: Would you share a bit of what �� prompted you to select beach life at Surfer’s �� Point for your tapestry? �� John Nava: The image was inspired by �� Seurat’s Grande �� Jatte in several ways. �� Thematically the image For me the beach presents �� is in the tradition of the the ﬁgure in the landscape in Arcadian vision - an �� image of Paradise with the most compelling way - the �� humankind in harmony �� meeting point of air, water, with and at ease in �� nature. Seurat’s painting and earth. – John Nava modernized this vision �� and he did so in the �� midst of the social upheaval and dissonance �� of his time. This, clearly, is an idealized �� picture that chooses to present life in terms �� of health, warmth and beauty rather than � � �� perhaps more common modernist themes of perversity, disease and pessimism. �� Formally, Seurat’s famous pointillist �� graphic language ignored conventional �� realist rendering and was instead inspired by Jacquard weaving. Having become an �� accidental Jacquard weaver myself, I could �� see this connection very clearly. �� I live in Ojai but often spend time walking �� along the Ventura promenade depicted in �� the work. For me, the scene of this gathering place along the shore of so many various ��

“types” resonated with these “Arcadian” ideas and reminded me of the Grand Jatte. VOICE: Will your beach life narrative continue into future works / tapestries? Nava: I think so. For me the beach presents the figure in the landscape in the most compelling way - the meeting point of air, water, and earth. VOICE: In this medium and at this monumental size, how do you develop depth of field? Nava: I actually spent a lot time working out the perspective of the image. However, against that illusion I used a number of means to emphasize surface and flatness (the abstract color “patches” of the surface and flat profile and frontal silhouettes for the figures). VOICE: Would you share a very early memory of being drawn into art?

was serious and that he took me seriously. Over a lifetime of making your way as a self-employed artist, you need a family - and especially a wife - with a lot of faith, a lot of courage, and a lot of patience.

VOICE: What kind of support have you received over the years to you as an artist? From family? mentors?

��

Nava: Howard Warshaw was probably the most inﬂuential in making me believe art

The gallery is located at 11 E Anapamu St and is open daily 10-5:30pm. Reach them at 730-1460.

Nava: I won a city-wide drawing contest for grade schoolers in San Diego when I was six (a drawing of a cat).
