art / history / bridging worlds

all artmaking is a form of recording what has happened

what is history? who gets to write history?

what are artists doing when they make art?

representations of reality, portrayals of truth, depictions of the world - as they see it

artworks preserve a snapshot of the world as it is witnessed by artists

artists are bearers of truth; or at least a version of the truth held by the world in that period of time

in the present, we make art to bridge worlds - worlds separated by individual perceptions and conceptions of reality

across time, art bridges worlds apart - worlds stretching across different eras and time periods, from renaissance to industrial revolution, post-war to modern day

art creates encounters for worlds to overlap

art sets the stage for conversations to happen across worlds

art brings minds and souls together
