Here’s a little trailer for the Ironton show, to give a glimpse of the wonders that unfold from The Unsecret Block (plus some other bits). Quick and dirty, perhaps, but a movie, as promised. 32 seconds, so settle into your chair. Comments explicitly invited.
Since he was struck by lightning as a child, Eric Waldemar has gone on to a variety of endeavors, including abstract cinema, painting, drawing, printmaking (etc), writing and editing, sound-making, university teaching, public spectacle, walking around, and, in a remarkable development, child-rearing. He lives in Denver, CO, USA.
For all the art talk and theory, an artist, regardless of their specific beliefs and cosmology, knows that when it goes well, the moment of making is a moment of grace, some kind of gift, a treasure and a privilege. This experience is as old as art is, although a lot of contemporary art talk belittles it. We, as artists, the kind that I mean, are not just content providers for... a luxury market, a network of institutions, a sophisticated discourse, and a social scene. We are, at our best, much more than that. What, then? I don't know, still. I just have a thread that I need to follow.
Time Casts Shadows
Edges soften or harden depending on the light source. Months merge to quick glimpses in the shadow of memory.Flashes are given sequence, and from the mind's turbulent puddle, we conjure up a stream.
