-Heidegger - January 2009-The piercing cold of high mountain walks on clear days demand a clarity to my reflective musings. Several quotes come to mind as Heidegger and I walk on frozen paths of crunching snow. We are surrounded in a dazzling display of swirling hoar frost. I commit to inviting these quotes into the studio with me, to sit by the warmth of the fireplace as companions for the winter season in this New Year.
"The vehicle that makes great art is extremely subtle, it is ethics, morals." -Enrique Martinez Celaya
"The journey between the known and unknown - at the boundary is art." - Enrique Martinez Celaya
"There are words I cannot choose again:
'humanism' 'androgyny'
Such words have no shame in them, no diffidence
before the raging stoic grandmothers
their glint is too shallow, like a dye
that does not permeate
the fibers of actual life
as we live it now."
-Adrienne Rich
"Only bad painters enjoy painting." -Cecil Collins (1906-1989)
