Description
It was one of those days, one of those places they used to call fey.
Surreal, other worldly, the landscape of trees and grass possessed a depth beyond what we see on its surface. Perhaps it is the wind, whipping through the branches and making them dance, gliding through the grass and inspiring its fronds to sway back and forth, as if gesturing.
One gets the sense that on another level, a different dimension, the trees and grass could speak to one another, and maybe to us. So it is in a fairy tale world, a world not limited to the walls of rationality that modern society builds around itself.
Have you ever been in such a place, on such a day? Have you ever heard the wind moaning and felt that it were speaking, inviting you to stop, turn around, walk forward, and discover?
It is a metaphysical moment, one that inspires you to believe beyond what Science, the god of modern man, says we can expect.
“There is more to this world than what you see,” the wind murmurs. “More to understand than what you think you know.
“I am the wind. You cannot see me, and yet I exist.”
The artwork, Winds of Change, shows us such a world. On the surface, the landscape looks like a pleasant country meadow, and so it is, but things change as the clouds gather and darken, the wind gathers up her skirts, and the trees begin to sway and dance.
The landscape is dynamic, moving, energizing. There is something about the wind whipping about that brings in an element of the mysterious, mystifying, magical, surreal . . . fey.
Fanciful?
Yes.
A foray into imagination?
Oh, yes.
And oh, how we need fancy, and imagination, and creativity, and a belief in something better and higher and grander than the world humans build for themselves!
