  • The Heart is an Eye.

    The heart is an “eye”, (Octavio Paz).  If you stay connected to your heart, if you still feel, then you remain connected to what some call your natural intuition. Your heart is a brain.

  • The Density of Letterforms and Hieroglyphs

    A Tiny Thought: I have been thinking of hieroglyphs today and was reminded of an old memory of something I used to hold close: Derrida’s description of hieroglyphs. He referred to them as an expanded form of writing. He compared this form of writing to the abstract writing of our western languages. For instance, an… Continue Reading

  • Mechanical and Natural Light

    I often record or document natural light around my house, as I find the patterns and movement to be interesting. I did so this morning. Later I went to FaceBook, and a friend had shared a 1966 work, by Julio LeParc: Single Band in Contortion. His was a mechanical construction with light, created using a… Continue Reading

  • John Berger and his Nomadic Seeing.

    “The past is very present to me and has been for a very long time. I first became aware of this quite intensely when I was a teenager, because of the First World War. You see, I think that the dead are with us….What I’m talking about now is a very ancient part of human… Continue Reading
