Current Show:
A Sense of Place
A place is not an idea, but it may contain one. A place is real, not virtual. It has seasons, elements, stone, breezes, water. We come from a place or we leave one. Memory calls to mind a place that is ours, a place we might have lost. A place has form, material; it is not abstract; in fact, it defends us against abstraction. A place is never generic. A place has smells, edges, its own light, bitter or sweet. A place is not memorized, it is remembered. No one place is like another; it exists for itself, it its own meaning. A place calls to us. If we never have a place, we will invent one; we have to. Without a place we may as well live in a laboratory under fluorescent lights.
