WORK IN PROGRESS
2020 – PRESENT
I climb the nearest mountain peak and look far. A labyrinth of timelines appears, crossing and intersecting, reversing, continuously starting and stopping, but all flowing in the same direction. I mumble an incantation, 'Veils asunder,' and head back down the mountain and into the maze.
Driving out toward the infinite light of the horizon, I find myself in a town collapsed into slumber, slowly dissolving. Amidst the rubble, paradigms that wrested this place into existence lie fallow. The cyclical turning of time tills this matter back into the void from which it came.
In this world, the temporal veils of progress and modernity are falling apart and the eternal ground from which all change arises is starting to seep through. In these brief glimpses, the self evaporates into the landscape and the landscape into eternity.
Guided by the stoic wisdom held in rocks and mountains, as well as Buddhist insights into emptiness and the dissolution of separateness, Veils Asunder is my quest to find the anagogic landscape, the mystical underpinnings of place.
“Nothing is born, nothing dies,
nothing is pure, nothing is stained,
nothing increases and nothing decreases.”
