Las Vegas and Phoenix Art Exhibitions By Ken Boe

            The synchronic vibration between object and metaphor is the magic of beauty that my artwork seeks out. My idea is that all objects, be they containers such as teapots, art supplies, tree roots, or concepts themselves, continually vibrate frequencies of meaning in a continuum of metaphorical variability…that our minds are but another coincidence on the shores of Universe where waves of energy flow in and out dynamically in collaboration with creation. Artwork is by this means a player in the rhythmic conundrums of conscious and unconscious, being and meaning, palindrome or pun … manifesto continues at www.kenboe.com Come visit one of my art shows in January. Follow link to my blog for more information.

Accidentally caught you guys at Gypsy Den Saturday night.  

WOW!  WHAT A TREAT!!!    I can't wait to see you guys play again.  You're nostalgic music is such a breath of fresh air and something that could be appreciated from any age from 10 to 80!    Thanks for playing :-)
