THE ORDER OF THINGS: MAIN GALLERY

SEPTEMBER 15TH - NOVEMEBER 13TH

ROBERT WALZ

“Making art is like breathing. During the period of time making this work, I received the gift of a book about breathing. The author reveals the astonishing fact that there are more molecules in a single human breath than all the grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. This was a revelation regarding inspiration, which is defined to breath in. The connection between the act of breathing and inspiration is part science, while the creative aspect is often shrouded in mystery.

When the mind is unclouded, inspiration is abundant. Like molecules, there exists an endless flow of connections. Invisible and yet seen in the mind. The process, the work, is to transform the unseen, or inspiration. To make it visible and to give it form––to become a translator of the in-between spaces –– the rhythms of nature, the night skies, energy, stillness.

When the unseen is made visible it creates a kind of poetry, one which uses a visual form for language. It’s each circle, line and in the ordering of things. These visual poems are a gift of a moment. A time for us to simply be and just breathe.”
