Several notable curiosities came out of last fall’s “Time and Attention” show, and not everything got included in the gallery exhibition. Here’s a sort of image poem that tells of the emergence of life and form on Earth. Interpretive dance, perhaps. This should give you a decent sense of what it was like back then for those ambitious little critters. Millions of years are compressed into a couple of minutes, so bear with me if I missed anything important.

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.

Far from Home
An itinerant mechanic wanders an unfamiliar planet.
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.

You can get just about anything at Amazon these days, from computers to cheese and paintbrushes. Ink. Ointment. My percentage is tiny, but if you come by my site when you need to buy something substantial, or a bunch of gifts for an upcoming holiday, my little nip from the coin will be enough to buy me a beer, a brush, or an hour of a babysitter's time. Otherwise, the same money just makes the company's corporate bonuses larger, I imagine. Do what you will. If you choose to shop through my site now or ever, thanks in advance. If not, I'm still glad you're having a look around.

Consider yourself informed. I think it was already obvious.
