Going for ArtPrize -an installation
|
ArtPrize!
I’ve been away from my blogging for a month as I’ve been totally absorbed in the prospect of an installation for the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids. Rich DeVos has put up some serious money for an art competition, $500,000. For me it is the perfect......Read More

Public Installation
|
The art of installing art in public is a challenge. There are all the potential dangers of abuse, vandalism, injury and of course accompanying law suits. I was recently invited to show works in the city of Troy, Ohio. Some truly unabashed American doers in that town with a down to earth, get......Read More

Anger and Embarrassment Tempered with Self Pity
|
When we screw up:
These three, they slowly float by each other circumspect and leering. Just as our minds migrate from one of these to another in our states of distress. They come with us often. We bring them separately and we bring them all together when we have done badly. ......Read More

Persistence of Memory
|
We are the sum total of our memories, so we seem to think. What has happened to us is what our consciousness is built around. But when we come to the task of spiritual interaction there is an eternal soul that is barely scratched by the time we have spent here in this life. Our......Read More

How bright we can be.
Yes in our modern society we have come to understand psychology, to grasp the lessons of history and weigh current events against the past plodding of our forefathers. And our physical science –mercy, we have mastery of so much biology that we can do a......Read More

Dual Mindedness
|
One side pokes out at the space with high contrast but has no mouth. The other side is caged in, mouth open but no depth of statement can happen with that mouth. We swivel on our axis and can easily turn from one side to the other.

Big Monkey
|
What do you call an 800 pound gorilla? …. Sir.

Green Envy
|
Envy, just green with it. That is how we find ourselves so often. It will sometimes drive us to spread gossip about others, a bit of sabotage for the competition. Oh, the tainted and spoiled spirit that can manifest from our comparison to others. And oddly enough it goes on in every......Read More
