The savvy editors at Chaleur Magazine saw the synergistic value of taking all of the pieces in this series for their July 7, 2019 online issue.
They also asked for an artist statement and this is what I hear:
We often don't see what is right before our eyes. The world's lines, borders and boundaries are more amorphous than is comfortable to admit. But if we squint at anything, we can see the contrails of atoms in infinite motion. Spaces we think empty suddenly teem with unusual inhabitants, and as looking turns into seeing, in our minds we can sometimes hear the older ancient narratives swirling up around us like currents from the deeper seas. It is often dangerous to consider how the earth that holds us now also holds some remnants of all who walked here before.
(Yes, the same one accepted for the Fusion Art Gallery exhibit.)
