The Complexity of More

The figure inspires. Large, small, simple or complex, it is our nature to look for meaning within the human form. We search a world which reflects opposition and peace, chaos and order, and perhaps we find windows for understanding life through visual means, poems that beg us to stay and uncover layers of thought.

Kathe Kollwitz, The People:

Line, shape, texture, form, space, color, time and motion work to merge ideas, to isolate and suggest, to emphasize and propel whether it is the harmony or disruption, the force or release, the blasphemy or prayer within us,… there seems to be a place and time to join and break in all aspects of our lives.

It is with grace and faith that images manage to be made and perhaps with even more grace, that we take the leap and attempt to share some thought or intimacy or hope with a world which may or may not even notice.
