Images and words from my walks and interactions with nature and the environment.
Seeing the world from the depths of grief
eyes blind to life’s color
scanning the spectrum of shades between dark pewter and cloud white
stark polarities of form and space
fullness and emptiness
light and shadow
life and death laid out for all to see
Mother earth’s cries of grief lie just beneath the surface of forms
waiting
for a break in the heart
to flow out on a roaring wave
a wailing stream
into the deep wells of sorrow
Filtered vision brings what is lost into focus
seeing absence
of vibrancy
radiance
brilliance
the bare simplicity of duality
a reductionist world
drained of life’s sweet juices
speaking the language of loss
the soul of a world in mourning
But there can be magic
when sand is transformed to glistening surfaces of white light
dissolving into nebulous shapes of nothingness
liquid mirrors of deception
Clear cut shapes of life’s creations
clean lines that hug the edges of forms and weave intricate patterns
dancing through the endless trajectories of space
drawing the world into an alternate reality
where light and shadow playfully negotiate their place on the surface of matter as it slowly turns
Eyes search the air spaces of modulating densities
moistures and mists coagulating
monochromatic dimensions of endlessness wash across the canvas
stroking the smooth terrains, sharp corners and grainy textures
senses seek out the deep pits of darkness
follow undulating pathways of shades of grey
fly up and out into windows and vistas of light
open spaces for imagining
and time for reflection
