the purpose of a mythology in a journey across infinity 2008 acrylic, impasto, balsa, sand, keys, beach combings, pencil drawing on paper... on canvas 153cm x 51cm x 10cm Any attempt to imagine infinity is bound by the limits of the mythology (thought system?) from which the attempt arises.
Exhibited as part of "Rockin' the Boat", At The Vanishing Point, January 2010 Aren't we all refugees, desperate to seek asylum from the tyranny of intellection but ironically too terrified to jump aboard the flimsy boat that can carry us across a stretch of infinity to the imagination that is our freedom, all because we choose not to remember the mythologies that make such journeys possible by protecting us from the incomprehensible vastness that lurks beyond the horizon of our so-called finite? Little wonder we get a tad irrational about people arriving in boats. |
