![]() This piece is part of the 2019 Exquisite Corpse Games http://exquisitecorpsegames.com, a blind artistic collaboration, in which each artist was randomly assigned the creation of a head, torso, or legs. The assembled pieces were unveiled on Nov 14, 2019 and are part of a traveling art show. This encaustic piece, Fairy Tales, was inspired by a quote from C.S. Lewis: Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. ![]() "This life of ours is like a street that passes many doors", Ball said, "nor think you all the doors I mean are wood. Every day's a door and every night. When a man throws wide his arms to you in friendship, it's a door he opens same as when a woman opens hers in wantonness. The street forks out, and there's two doors to choose between. The meadow that tempts you to rest your bones and dream a while. The rack-ribbed child that begs for scraps the dogs have left. The sea that calls a man to travel far. They are all doors, some God's and some the Fiend's. So choose with care which ones you take, my son, and one day - who can say - you'll reach the holy door itself." -Frederick Buechner, Godric ![]() This piece is part of the 2018 Exquisite Corpse Games http://exquisitecorpsegames.com, a blind artistic collaboration, in which each artist was randomly assigned the creation of a head, torso, or legs. The assembled pieces were unveiled at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Pete, FL on Nov 1, 2018. This encaustic piece, Choices, was inspired by a quote from C.S. Lewis: Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different than it was before. ![]() I sit in darkness. I sit in human silence. I begin to hear the eloquent night. The world of this night resounds from heaven to hell with animal eloquence. With the savage innocence of a million unknown creatures. The enormous vitality of their music pounds and rings and throbs and echoes until it gets into everything, and swamps the whole world in its neutral madness. -Thomas Merton |
