| Some photos have a lot of commentary, some don’t. For some pieces , the story is the essence of the work, so I’ve included narration. For other works, I think it is better to let you make the discovery of connections for yourself without a lot of prejudice from my thoughts. The Baule people of Africa believe too much clarity can hinder some kinds of enlightened understanding. Things that endure, things that last, ancient voices that speak to our hearts in modern times; these are the things that give us comfort and courage. Temples and towers that point to a higher plane. Religious objects that have an aura of sacredness. Household items that glow with a patina of lifelong loving use. The distinction blurs, and their story becomes our story. |
