How We Live

How we live within our actions and intentions speaks deeply to who we are, our fears and desires. Our choices create who we are as we build our lives and selves. This is why we create and collect, the why before the what. To surround oneself in beauty as we work and pay bills softens the beat of the drum, creating and destroying who we are, digging new paths onward.

Seeking

August 12, 2024 Carl Barnett

The solitude, calm and beauty we seek is already within, though buried behind the walls of social conditioning and dogma. It is by way of digging our paths and seeking our truths we create who we are, our love and light, as we navigate the paradoxes of human experience. Through equanimous beauty, we try and try again.

Nature. Unstoppable Force Of Life

August 9, 2024 Carl Barnett

Nature, the unstoppable force of life, reflects and inspires who we are through beauty, wonder and awe. A cycle of destruction and creation, life and death. This is where we’ve come from and to which we go, a circular path of energy and matter.

The Human Experience

August 2, 2024 Carl Barnett

The human experience is a culmination of equanimous influences from childhood memories, current reality and the inspiration of nature and beauty. It is through the creative mind that we funnel and react to those experiences, making sense and navigating sensory perceptions. Through the creative mind we thrive, creating beauty and building resolve.

All We Create

July 23, 2024 Carl Barnett

All we create is expanded by participation, by energy of vision, energy of thought, sound and physical touch. Objects, be they ceramic vessel, chair or painting are not in and of themselves, they are communicators of ideas, passers of energy, beauty born from the static of idea.
