Well, my art is hanging at <a href="http://www.theatreintheround.org/" target="_blank">Theatre in the Round</a> until March
10<sup>th</sup>. How about that?<o:p></o:p></div>

It’s been a long time since my art has hung anywhere.

You can go check it out even if you don’t have theater
tickets. Just tell the box office you want to see the art. But you should get
tickets to a show because everything this theater does is amazing and high quality.
The people working hard to keep that place humming are inspirational. <o:p></o:p></div>

Thank you Theatre In The Round for hosting my art show. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;"> There is a town called
Grand Marais in northern Minnesota. It’s our midwestern version of a little
coastal town with its Lake Superior harbor. Where the water meets the land,
there are these huge slabs of reddish brown rock that are chipping apart. I’ve climbed
on these rocks on multiple vacations, so I was surprised to see the addition of
about 20 rock sculptures built along the coast. One was a complex stack of
hundreds of rocks forming a gravity-defying arch that was taller than a person.
Most were just a few rocks stacked precariously on top of each other.<span> </span>A couple were built in little pools
that form in the low parts of the slabs so that the reflections were part of
the sculptures.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> It was such an odd and
beautiful thing to stumble upon a place I thought I knew by heart. Here is how
I imagine it happening: Someone earlier that day or week decides to collect
some rocks and build a sculpture. Then someone else comes along, sees the
tower, and has to build their own. More and more people come along, wanting to
create one higher, simpler, better, or worse until there is this random
collection of rock art.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> I want to use the word “inspire”
to describe what happened next, but here’s the thing: “inspire” is a terrible
word. It’s been overused, especially in reference to bad high school poetry.
That word doesn’t hold any connotation that can convey the feeling I had. All I
know is that when I saw those things, I had to make one myself.<span> </span>Here’s mine: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> I can’t sell this thing.
It’s not going to make me famous or get people to follow me on Twitter. It’s
anonymous creation for the pure and simple need to create, and the only thing
that comes from it is that those who pass by can enjoy it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Don’t misunderstand me.
I’m not trying to say, “Ohhh look at me. I’m so pure.” The truth is actually
the opposite. I love making collages, but always in the back on my mind, I’m
thinking, “Will this sell? Will buyers like this?” I’m not a sell-out, but I
also understand that this is a business, and I need to keep my audience in mind.
There is a delicate balance between expressing myself with scraps of paper
glued on a canvas while also keeping in mind that I am making a product.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> But these rock sculptures
are in no way a product. It’s just a bunch of people making rock towers, feeding
off of each other, being inspired by each other, and somehow it almost means
more than something you can slap your name on or sell. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
