the world is out there
mixed media collage on cradled birch wood panel
14 x 14 x 1.75 inches
drawing, painting, writing, pencil, crayon, ink, acrylic, wax, collage, type, found pieces, found paper, wax emulsion, wash, gel, varnish
the title is from a quotation ...
The world is out there, but descriptions of the world are not.
— Richard Rorty
Rorty rejected the long-held idea that correct internal representations of objects in the outside world are a necessary prerequisite for knowledge.
a painting about identity and meaning
this artwork is sealed and finished with varnish
a piece alive with texture, colour and movement
durable — can be freely handled
three more quotes come to mind …
We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.
— Joseph Campbell
Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.
— Charles Spurgeon
I am rare, and there is value in all rarity; therefore, I am valuable.
— Og Mandino
ready to hang (there is a wire hanger applied in back)
shipped with care
everything from my shop comes with an extra art surprise
buy from people, not corporations
buy things made by human hands, not computers
escape from the dreaming planet ... give the gift of original art
