- 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.

Brakhage, Buddhism, & the Difficulty of Sustained Attention

Space churns, Time tumbles.
As if these images in Odin-Odeon (September 2-October 8 at RMCAD) weren’t hard enough to decipher, here’s a movie that makes several of them into a squishy, churning mass. All of the prints in the movies are made on the … Continue reading

ArtWorks Letterkenny Exhibition Scandal
No scandal just yet, despite the lurid title, but come by the reception this Saturday (July 17th) if you’re in the area, or if you can be. If shocking behavior occurs, this is where it will likely take place. Get … Continue reading
Old Tongue Peeled
The version of “Old Tongue” that just opened at ArtWorks is too quick and detailed to come across on the web, but by trying to strip it down for compression, I came up with a very different version, one that … Continue reading

Odin-Odeon Cinema Fragment One
Each Wednesday (Woden’s Day) night this Spring, when possible, I would go over to the studio and make prints. I had several etched plates lying about, each of them suggestive of image, while not quite readable without interpretation. The ways … Continue reading
Primordial Soup Cartoon
Primordial Soup Cartoon from Eric Waldemar on Vimeo. 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 … Continue reading
