Seven Stories is a series of abstract photographs taken in Bardstown, Kentucky while I was visiting Gethsemani Abbey. During a hike outside the monastery grounds, I came upon some abandoned train cars that had, at some time, burned and then rusted over many years. The decaying metal and paint were visually stunning.
“Decay is renewal--a perhaps contradictory sentence that nevertheless characterizes the aesthetically sustainable product, which ages gracefully and which possesses the germ of aesthetic decay as process. Decay equals renewal in the sense that aesthetic decay ensures the continued interest and fascination of the recipient.”
― Kristine H. Harper, Aesthetic Sustainability
The Mystic’s Shelter is a series of abstract photographs taken in Bardstown, Kentucky while I was visiting Gethsemani Abbey. During a hike on the monastery grounds, I discovered a small shed in a wooded area that had been used by monastery visitors leaving small offerings and hand written missives. The exterior had been painted numerous times and weathered over time exposing layers of color and decay.
“People are lucky because they have shelters, they have refuges, they have sanctuaries and they have heavens! And what are they? Nature is a refuge; music is a shelter; literature is a sanctuary and art is a heaven! Whenever you need them you can take refuge in them!”
