Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom . — Viktor E. Frankl I am drawn to those things that fill the spaces between what is seen and what is over looked. There are many things that we know are present, but we do not see them in their entirety such as power poles, pylons, machinery, construction debris, mold, rust and damaged paint. Although not ignored they receed as we choose to look at other more finished surfaces. These object have their own compositions, light and colour that have a certain beauty a certain repose as they move from their utilitarian purpose back into the environment from where they originated. I am drawn to look and see again, to explore and fight this blindness that decends on me. As we build and renew there is something in the destruction and devolution of our structures that is a truer reflection of the reality around us. |
