To remind myself what it is all about . . .
Color and light! The joy of seeing into the heart of things. Something the artist Pierre Bonnard said late in his life—
“Speaking, when you have something to say, is like looking. But who looks? If people could see properly, and see whole, they would all be painters. And it’s because people have no idea how to look that they hardly ever understand.”
Wherever I am, I like to coax out quiet revelations, luminous and lovely—the play of light, the journeyings of time, things ephemeral and ancient. I'm especially fascinated by the liminal space of windows, by the ambiguities of outside and in, substance and reflection, glass and what's printed on it.
This blog is an attempt to share that.
