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.

- 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.

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

Speechlessness
Here’s one still image from a movie called Old Tongue, part of “Letters and Speechlessness” at ArtWorks in Letterkenny, Ireland. This is the first time I’ve worked through the material I shot last summer, and again and again, I wonder … Continue reading

Little Ironton Movie
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 … Continue reading

Slices from the Block
A few of the 111 sheets from The Unsecret Block. The simplest way through each brief moment of animation is to go down each column from the top left. There are many other ways to navigate the block. Movies to … Continue reading
