She

‘She’ is indefinitely other in herself.
French feminist Luce Irigaray

The blurring of voices invites new ways of speaking and acknowledging subjectivity. To meet one’s self through dialogue is to scrutinize the stuff of empty moments and somehow make the intangible tangible.

connected path

searching for meaning in place
textures layer with time
vibrant life in teaspoons of soil, in cracks between rocks

experiencing earthy color and wild space
wonder overlaps wandering
trails, meeting scenes for plant and other

sifting for purpose
tools packed for shifting attitude
agenda filled with natural lists

Intersections

Art had its origins in magic. Mystics have always spoken of the illusory nature of reality and the power of the imagination, and it is through that experience, that we connect. Through art, common experience is transformed to timeless expressions of shared moments. Art shapes our perception of things outside ourselves, and embodies the workings of inner life. Art is the explication of the transformative process.

A parallel universe occupies the same space as our familiar one, but is unseen, hidden in the intricate molecular structure of matter. Portals into this “altiverse” call us to explore the metaphysical territory. Sometimes I look just inside the doorway, where the two realities nearly converge and I am on relatively familiar ground, seeing just beneath the apparent surface of things. These are our shared connections. To step all the way through, to where the normal means of perception are irrelevant and the very laws of physics no longer apply is what we hope for.
