Spirit Place

I am captivated by the age-old schisms of Western thought sometimes known as the Cartesian split.  It is that collision of paradigms between faith and empiricism, logic and intuition, embodiments of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It is through a science degree and an understanding of the physical world that I first sought a relationship with my surroundings. But the world seems no less full of mystery and magic because of it. My perceptions, and hence my images, often function between faith and logic, pointing a finger at ineffable experience, complexity, power, fragility, politics and mystery.
