Description
“These works evoke the territory of the imagination, when thought is submerged and rendered helpless. Surrounded by darkness and silence, the outside world peels away and vision originates from within. Logic and reason become scaffolding.
It is soothing to draw on solid stone when trying to capture such a nebulous realm.”
Herlinde Spahr
Spahr commented on this imagery: The feather rooted in soil is a reminder that the imagination must always remain grounded in the world of matter. The spirit is nothing if not embodied.
