Imagination Stations

'Stop waiting for a spotlight. Glow.'

I like small scenes captured in small containers - in globes, in boxes, in tin nichos. Actually, more accurately, I like the ideas that are illustrated by the scenes.

My very favorite is 'A Setting for a Fairy Tale' by the curious, nearly eccentric Joseph Cornell; it hangs in the Peggy Guggenheim villa in Venice which makes it the more wonderful (to me) for still being part of a very real home.

With the daily flood of information and our genuine interest in paying attention to other people, it's remarkably easy to be distracted from ideas and thoughts WE treasure. Those moments of enchantment, where the seeds of our vision can almost literally sprout and grow, can become a memory.

Or maybe it's just me. At any rate, I've started collecting my artwork so that some day, I can make my own scenes. Until then, I'm archiving the work digitally. This is my very first.
