Area 10

2008-09-02T14:24:00.000-07:00

"A step-by-step series of simple complex counterparts.
Imagine a ladder that never ends, built by its climbers. Piece by piece, like the brittle skeleton limbs of a wooden robot, being brought to life. Footprints and graffiti left along the way, marks made by falling tools and the initials of rebel workers scratched into the beams to record their part in the making.
From tiny pieces and parts of something else, a ladder shall grow, taking the viewer on a route from start to finish, telling a story with wood, revealing the structure of an idea. Each piece a testament to its part in the bigger composition. David performs this improvised painting and sculpture with area 10 in mind"

Nature

2008-09-02T14:13:00.000-07:00

Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Nature".

'Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. Almost I fear I think how glad I am. In the woods, too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God, a decorum and a sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed,, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befal me in life, -- no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball. I am nothing. I see all. The currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.'

The Blue Mosque

found this written on a wall down a little old allyway.

An example of work by Erkut Terliksiz. I am working with Erkut in the show "Imprecise Status" at the Siemens Senat. I love his work and it has been a great pleasure working along side him. check his work out at :www.erkutterliksiz.com

Istanbul is a Big Beautiful city with a real sense of old meets new, so full of colour and character there is something to look at in any direction in a city that never seems to sit still.

Sign Language of a Soul Conductor

images from the "Imprecise Status" exhibition at the Siemens Senat, Istanbul. The photo of me is a full page spread in the exhibition catalogue, If I had known I would have sent them something a little less like a police mug-shot. I look like Turkey's most wanted. The gallery space is amazing and the Curators and other artists are great. Istanbul has thick snow and is colder than an Eskimos nose, but the coffee and kababs are amazing. A great city indeed, old meets new, east meets west, my 11th floor hotel room overlooks a million snow covered roof tops.
