Shaky resolve
Memory ghosts
Long ago
Signs of past existence, experience retention resides in the residual archive of human activity. Relationships in the physical world change dramatically as a function of perception.
“Sometimes I tried to steer my mind away from memories of the past, but in other moods they now seemed so remote, so unreal, that I could dare to think about the past without breaking down.” – Neil Peart
Time fragments
Rowing positions
Get to the point
The essence of persistence is resistance to the passage of time, remembering things that might have happened.
“We’re in a rowboat. We move forward, but we’re always looking back.” – Louise Penny
Turning late
Amber sunlight
Autumn thoughts
Before winter’s gray silence, bright flames climax across the terrestrial expanse. In each season, the artist uses what the world offers.
“No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.” – John Donne
Physical items
Reiterate limits
Evidence dreaming
Vibrating at the edges of imagination, certain emplacements on the drive north speak of earlier times. A magnitude of circumstances effect each passing occurrence, contributing to the aesthetic ambience.
“It is better to live in a state of impermanence than in one of finality.” – Gaston Bachelard
Resistant to disclosure
Expressively moving
Reverberating beyond
Things come and go expeditiously, supporting incremental change. Right now everything leads to the perfect moment of unfolding.
“You can’t stop the future, you can’t rewind the past, the only way to learn the secret……is to press play.” – Jay Asher
Uniquely together
Infinitely apart
Outside itself
Along the way, certain emplacements differentiate as compelling ensembles, stimulating thoughts stretching beyond the present. Aspects of the world exist outside of their expression.
“Metaphysical intuition is an entirely different thing from the summary or synthesis of knowledge.” – Henri Bergson
Emotional accord
Authentic source
Spontaneous overflow
Rain smooths the edges of experience as senses are flooded with fresh impressions.
“The carnival traffic noise it sings the tune splashing up and even the ducks can groove rain bathing in the park side pool.” – Jimi Hendrix
Freedom fascination
Recourse to nothing
Outside itself
Shifting phantasms are thrown on the far side of the shopping arcade, as headlights move across the expanse. Discursive geographies of transition are part of a dialectic of space in a broader interrogation of linear progression.
“Only if the image is beyond not only the reality which it negates but also the imaginative consciousness which intends it can one account for the fact that one is free and fascinated at the same time — that is, aware that the image is not real while behaving as if it were.” – Richard Kearney
Built in 1936
Uptown Theatre
Closed for 42 years
Heed the past. There appears to be enough left for a renovation project.
“I mean, the whole idea of movies was it was special to go to see – you went to a movie theater to see something that was magical and amazing, in a very special location.” – Bob Balaban
Deeply compelling
Object decay abstract
Vanish into obsolescence
Visual poetry is found in a deserted alley, with an emphasis on the complexities of temporal decrepitude.
“And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, and then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot; and thereby hangs a tale.” – William Shakespeare
