Arts universal language is as ubiquitous as mathematics and as maddeningly complex. And like the language of numbers the language of art can be used to express deep truths, emotions or ideas. Art is ultimately indefinable, it is simply felt. Felt in the act of performing it, felt in standing before it, felt without the need for verbal explanation.

And because of this, throughout time, the artist has been better poised to explain the seemingly unexplainable. Using the interaction of light and sound and mind the artist can express the abstracted questions of our nature. And do it in a kind of philosophical ambiguity that drives some to outrage and others to personal revelation.

On a steep, trail-less hillside I sit in isolation with these rocks in front of me. Removed from humanity by geography and choice. This necessity is required to see what others do not, or cannot see. It is not melancholic, it is profound contentedness, there is simply no other place I’d rather be.
