Memory Keepers, Evanston IL, October 8-10 2021
Memory-Keepers concept: varying lenses/media from me, my wife Gale West, and our friend Judith Nolan that:
- Elicit from the audience knowing the Truth of the deepest part of their humanity: beings created in love and who carry everything they need within themselves.
- Evoke the sacred understanding of ourselves, the earth, humanity, and Source
- Enlighten and lift the heart of humanity
Backlot Coffee, Evanston IL March-August 2020
Ten playful photographs are being featured at a Backlot Coffee in Evanston (2006 Central Street, Evanston IL 60201) from March through August, 2020. See artist statement, samples, and info for the show below. And, thanks to Evanston Made who sought me out to do this...and who sponsor other wonderful artistic events in the area.
Photography (and Pottery) with Whimsy & Playfulness
My work reflects a life-long interest in illuminating the whimsical, playful and quirky wonderfulness ever-present within and around us. I hope to open our ability to see and engage hidden delights—in this series, mostly focusing on what’s around us in Evanston.
I began photography at ten. I’ve shot stills in books like Fearless at Work; provided images for web sites like dreamchange.org; lit, shot, and edited video for projects like “Working with Passion;” and photograph others’ art. Ceramics is a new outlet that feeds my hunger for hands-on creativity, especially with the joy (and tedium) of darkroom work less available.
When not behind a camera, editing on a computer, or before a wheel, I’m a coach who helps creatives playfully get unstuck (e.g., dissolving writer’s block, fear of career shift, etc.) via www.concentratedcoaching.net. I’m also at work on a book, The Perfection of ‘Good Enough.’
