Beauty And Nature

August 20, 2023 Carl Barnett

Beauty and nature are intrinsic to who we are. They are equanimous: fluid, brutal, and loving.

We are biologically attuned to nature and continue to build our world within it, while simultaneously trying to save it.

A Deeper And Wider View

Art, no matter the category is both mirror and window, a storyteller of our human experience, bringing joy and ease, or offering a door to resolve. Through the creative endeavor, be it a chair or painting, we experience beauty, an opportunity to be present within the complexities of living. A deeper and wider view.

Change And Beauty

August 18, 2023 Carl Barnett

By being present to beauty we see who we are, our natural way of being, and inclination toward change, despite the ego’s struggle for sameness and safety. Through the equanimity of beauty we are made aware of life’s pendulum, where we’ve been and where we’re going, as we see where we are. The splendor of nature and the hand created.

“invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,

don't swim in the same slough.

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself and

stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,

change your tone and shape so often that they can never categorize you.

reinvigorate yourself and

accept what is

but only on the terms that you have invented

and reinvented.

be self-taught.

and reinvent your life because you must;

it is your life and

its history

and the present

belong only to

you.”

― Charles Bukowski, The Pleasures of the Damned

Our Natural Tendency

August 17, 2023 Carl Barnett

It is our natural tendency toward beauty that eases us forward, reflecting as water who we are, and where we’ve come. By embracing nature and the creative mind we find our intuitive voice and our natural way of being, within a social system that denies.

Nature And The Hand Created

August 15, 2023 Carl Barnett

Nature and the hand created are a reflection of who we are. They are storytellers and salves, easing, informing, and offering meaning. It is through beauty that life is deepened and elevated, why we create and collect.

We are, by way of intuition and biology, the manifestation of beauty and the will of nature.
