quote from contempo-
rary artist Eric Fischl
serves as a guideline
for Pamela Gordon's work:
"For me, painting is the pro-
cess whereby I return my
thoughts to feelings."
While most of her genera-
tion is busy converting brain
power into dollars, the
26-year-old Gordon prefers to
translate her thoughts and
feelings into abstract pain-
ting and sculpture.
Gordon has further distanc-
ed herself from the ambitions
of her peers by moving into
her parents' Southfield apart-
ment to concentrate on her
art full-time. "This is kind of
my sabbatical," she said.
"Right now I want the time to
myself."
Gordon compares creating
art with meditation. In both
pursuits one must concen-
trate, disengage from the
mundane and become the
vehicle for the message or
creation.
"When you look at a piece
of mine, I hope it explains
itself. I'm only the vehicle
and the piece creates itself if
it is successful," she said.
Gordon said she concen-
trates on creating rather than
marketing her art. She sold
her first work by chance
while in the elevator of her
apartment building. "I had a
painting in my hand. So-
meone liked it and I sold it to
him."
Another time, she was
sketching while eating at
Sebastian's in Somerset Mall.
The waiters noticed her work-
ing. The manager asked if the
restaurant could display the
, sketches. One was used to il-
lustrate an advertisement for
the restaurant.
These sales do not pay the
bills, however. "It's like being
an actor. You don't make
money for a long, long time.
In the meantime you have to
love what you do."
Gordon said she has been
drawing since childhood,
when she would sit in front of
the television with a sketch
pad. She attended Oak Park
High School and received a
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree
from Wayne State University.
Some of her work can be
seen at the Cade Gallery in
Royal Oak. Joe Fugate, the
gallery's manager and direc-
tor, said he was impressed by
, Gordon's work. The paintings
and sculptures he is display-
ing are not pure abstract, he
said. "There is some touch of
realism in all her works."
In the sculptures,
recognizable figures "melt in-
to other objects." Landscapes
are visible in the paintings,
"but you have to look real
close to see the objects."
Because much of Gordon's
work is abstract and not easi-
ly accessible, she does not ex-
pect universal adulation of
her creations and abilities as
an artist.
"You have to leave your ego
out of it," she said. "I try not
to get my ego in the way
because not everyone's going
to like what you do. You can't
be doing it for other people"
A trip to Toronto last year
further tested Gordon's abili-
ty to draw strength and
pleasure from her creativity.
In almost perfect solitude, she
spent her days sketching.
"That taught me a lot of
discipline. There was no TV,
no fridge, no people to talk to.
I also learned what loneliness
was?'
