The empty space.

The shifting of light.

–to create a landscape, an artistic ritual exploring a poetic reunion with nature, revealing the interconnectedness of all life. In their seemingly random encounters, I seek something beyond the accidental, the hidden. When we are conscious about the existence of these infinite connections, we emerge from our anthropocentric view of life and move into a holistic view. In doing so, we are freed from the limitations of death.

In 2007, when my site was still defining itself (and I was exceptionally verbose) I made a post about J. Henry Fair's Industrial Scars. I'm so happy to see this project is still alive. Even more excited that an Industrial Scars exhibit will be running now until Sept 17th at the Colorado College's I.D.E.A Space. The gallery is located on the first floor of Cornerstone Arts Center, the building I work in! So excited!!
If I am allowed to take pictures of the exhibit, I certainly will, and have a follow-up post.

For more information on his exhibit, visit the I.D.E.A Space page on Colorado College's website.
For more Industrial Scars images, visit J. Henry Fair's site.

I believe that the justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenalin but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.

Heaven and Earth

Moving by day ... Resting by night
Glacier Creek ... glittering water ... glittering obsidian
Each sleeping place ... the dreams ... at each sleeping place
North Sister ... kicking in the snow-steps ... Wickiup Plain ... easy walking
An odd number of mountains ... an even number of rivers
The Earth's Axis ... magnetic north positive ... magnetic south negative
The walk is as a true path some false moves

Contained within the operating system of Mac computers is a rudimentary electronic psychotherapist program. Meant to simulate a Rogerian therapist, it engages the participant in a cyclical conversation by taking his or her statements and roughly reconfiguring them into questions. I met with this program three times a week for a month in order to discuss my fear that I was disappearing completely. These are three stills from our conversations.

This post is really to just appease my melancholic mood.
Images are by Brion Nuda Rosch.
Sounds by Jana Hunter. They're not terribly uplifting songs, but I'm pretty sure my mood will have resolved itself by tomorrow.
