This compact painting was created with ink and liquid acrylic. It presents a sense of a world in which all things seem as if they are not appearing properly in terms of perceptual expectations.
In the context of relativity theory, one could postulate that it refers to a situation where expected outcomes or measurements are not aligning with theoretical predictions.
Onward marked a return to my painting practice in 1980 after a year devoted to writing an unpublished novel.
The central figure’s advance is accompanied by repeated circular vignettes that imply different perspectives on — and approaches to — my creativity. In some sense, these various-sized motifs evoke my past, and my resumption forward as a growing painter. Therefore, the central figure represents the present moment.
The first in detail account that relates the development of visual images to innovations in art, communication, scientific research, and technological advance.
In a 2005 review of Innovation and Visualization: Trajectories, Strategies, and Myths, John Danvers wrote:
“It is this kind of historical insight and connectivity which makes Innovation and Visualization such a stimulating text to read. With its combination of scholarship and lucidity, fascinating information and provocative argument, this lively and intelligent book will be welcomed by the academic community and by many general readers, who will enjoy Ione’s eloquent cross-fertilisation of ideas and her healthy disregard for disciplinary boundaries.” [Full review here]

This compact work does not depict a literal snowy scene; rather, it represents the sensory experience of snow, light, and a sense of drifting atmospheric depth. The small flower at the top emphasizes the relationship between fragile living forms and powerful environmental forces.
The pattern of this compact drawing was created by using astrological signs and planetary symbols to form a musical configuration. Different size pen widths add a perceptual vibrancy and vitality to the black-and-white arrangement.

The black-and-white version of this piece was published in 1989 in Tjotjok, a book in which my illustrations were juxtaposed with 86 poems by Jerry Bass.
Both the oil and ink paintings measures 18×12 inches. Both are unframed. The oil painting is on a gessoed panel, with some gesso evident on edges and back.
