MessageCollection: From East to West, 2024
The title “From East to West” is a poetic way to express the continuous line that circumvents this planet. Rudyard Kipling expresses this continuous horizon in this way: Oh, East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet, till earth and sky stand presently…” The horizon line is an illusion that occurs at the merging of heaven and earth. The place were one reality is blended into the next results in a definitive line that appears to be so very straight, steady and ongoing.
This exhibit captures only a small sliver of the collision of water, earth and sky. These paintings and wall sculptures visualize the horizontal plane. They also captured the collision that occurs when the artist attempts to make an “unseen” reality visible in the “seen” world. This horizontal and luminal space stretches from east to west.
