On The Way

Here we go round the bramble bush, The bramble bush, The bramble bush. Here we go round the bramble bush On a cold and frosty morning. In the Power of Myth, scholar Joseph Campbell said that in later life, our youth can appear “scripted,” as though each heartbreak and happiness were deliberate and essential. If so, then every setback and success was necessary. The notch that runs from the nostrils to the lip is the “philtrum.” Folklore calls this indentation the birth “angel’s touch,” the imprint that seals the secrets of our purpose and past. Spared that knowledge, we get to loop-de-loop in and out and around life’s possibilities until, Gadzooks!, where we’ve been shows us where we’ve always been headed. With that process in mind, here’s another song that can ease the journey- Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily. Life is but a dream.

Homestead Grays Bridge

This embellished photograph is of the Homestead Grays Bridge. The bridge crosses the Monongahela Bridge. On the far side is the massive USSteel Homestead Works, which is now a shopping mall. Of note is that this location is the site of the Battle of Homestead, a brutal, starvation-spiked fight for fair labor practices. This image is intended to expressing moving from what was to what can be.

The Vessel

This painting is intuitive art (visual journaling) that was meant to express my father. The work also is a great accompaniment for Emerson's wisdom -- What lies behind us and what lies in front of us pales in significance to what lies within us.
