“Pompeii, especially, with its grand murals and its flourishing gardens haunted by the dark shadow of Vesuvius, has always suggested uncomfortable parallels with our contemporary world, especially here in Southern California, where the sunlit life also turns out to have dark shadows in which failure and death lurk at the edge of consciousness. Now in these times, we have even closer parallels with those ancient, beautiful, affluent people living the good life on the verge of annihilation.” PeopleWorldBeautifulTurnsDarkConsciousnessShadowGardenAncientEdgesContemporaryCaliforniaUncomfortableGood LifeSouthernParallelsVergeFlourishingAnnihilationAffluentSouthern CaliforniaPompeiiMuralLiving The Good Life Author:Eleanor Antin
“I have always been interested in mythology and history. The more I read, the more I realized that there have always been people at the edges of history that we know very little about. I wanted to use them in a story and bring them back into the public's consciousness. Similarly with mythology: everyone knows some of the Greek or Roman legends, and maybe some of the Egyptian or Norse stories too, but what about the other great mythologies: the Celtic, Chinese, Native American?” PeopleKnowsLittlesStoriesUseWantedConsciousnessEdgesI RealizedMythologyChineseGreekNativeLegendsNative AmericanEgyptianCelticNorse Author:Michael Scott
“I'll tell you what I think. I think sages are the growing tip of the secret impulse of evolution. I think they are the leading edge of the self-transcending drive that always goes beyond what went before. I think they embody the very drive of the Kosmos toward greater depth and expanding consciousness. I think they are riding the edge of a light beam toward a rendezvous with God.” ThinkingSelfLightSecretConsciousnessGreaterGrowingEvolutionDepthEdgesImpulseRidingSageExpandingBeamTranscendingRendezvous Book:A Brief History of Everything Source: A Brief History of Everything
“Fine-art photography is a very small world associated with galleries, museums, and university art programs. It's not like rock music; the products of this world have never been widely seen because the artists are often exploring things that are not already coded in general consciousness. It's not that photographers don't want to be famous, it's just that very few of the views from the edges of culture make the mainstream. Ansel Adams was an exception.” WorldWantArtArtistCultureViewsConsciousnessRocksThis WorldProductsFinePhotographyProgramPhotographerUniversityEdgesExceptionMuseumsMainstreamExploringGalleryFine ArtsRock MusicSmall WorldArt Photography Author:Mark Klett
