About the Exhibit
Landscape painting has been my identifier. Now I have incorporated the subject of “otherworldly landscapes merging with the twilight skies, by the mysterious presence of UFO’s blending the familiar with the unknown to evoke a sense of wonder.
The recent shifts in government attitudes towards ufology reporting has inspired my understanding of the phenomenon and its significance in contemporary culture. People from all walks of life who would have kept quiet are now “coming out” of their closets and speaking up.
And yet there is no science or mathematics, no literature, language, art or religion, and there is certainly no UFO, without that human subject, without that anecdotal witness, thinker or seer. So why are we not talking about the experiences of those human witnesses and how the phenomenon seems to trigger or catalyze the human imagination in fantastic ways? Why are we not compassionately reading those imaginal dramas as meaningful signs instead of arrogantly ignoring them as neurological froth? Why are we not talking about what happens to the terrified pilots, or the baffled military professionals, or the confused private citizens who see these things, sometimes really up close and very, very personally? Is that not also part of the UFO phenomenon? Why are we looking away?
