For your consideration: a section of an amazing sectional sculpture, on of mammoth proportions, currently on display at Stanford University's Cantor Art Center.
My sweet wife Julianna and I visited the museum last weekend, to take in an exhibit of Walker Evans' photographs (now closed). Stepping outdoors for a few moments I was immediately confronted with this splendid metallic work of interleaved arcs, the size and surprising elegance of which must be experienced to fully appreciate. Look for a few more images from this brief tour in the weeks ahead.
As for this particular offering . . .
This construction is an accurate map of my current spiritual/emotional landscape. I find myself on an increasingly narrow, harrowing path, a personal journey which involves considerable pain, sharp psychic edges, uncertain turns and deep shadows. The challenges are massive — easily the hardest of my life — and beyond my ability to move on my own. The stakes for me are beyond description; all of my hopes and dreams. Some days I have reason to be optimistic, others not so much. Nonetheless, the greatest power of all is Love, especially between soul-mates, and I shall continue to strive to find, see, and reach for the blue sky, currently seemingly out of reach but oh so close at hand, so long as there is love to be found and nurtured.
