Title: "Jaunt" - 2017 Size: 32" x 16" Medium: Woods, oil paint, collage SOLD
Reflecting on my times, it's interesting to be alive during the technological revolution… observing technology's impact upon both nature, and ourselves.
Keeping pace with all the new "stuff" out there is one thing… keeping our psyche grounded while in constant adjustment to that 'stuff' is another.
Even for those whose lives are immersed in the service of technology, there is a subtle angst to keep up & constantly hone their edge.
And then there are those whose interests are fully outside of the binary spread, and consequently feel progressively alienated
by the sprawling new digital world around them. -
This is age old stuff to be sure, (generation passage)… what's different is the dimension, and...pace that the digital change has brought us.
p.s. I considered entitling this one "Luddite's Repose", which would have promptly teed up a psychodrama
... but somehow that title seemed too immediate - the piece needed a title that echoed its "slower pace". ;)
