Sublunary World

Green Gallery (Milwaukee, WI) presented Sublunary World. The show includes work made while a resident at the Lynden Sculpture Garden. I included an Alkali Desert image as a ringer. The exhibit is a counterpart to Frozen Period, now on view at the Lynden Sculpture Garden. The publication Frozen Period (Bradley Family Foundation, 2015), which includes some images from Sublunary World, is available from the Lynden Sculpture Garden and is distributed by Green Gallery Press.

...I had in all human probability now existed about half the period which I am to remain in this Sublunary world. I reflected that I had as yet done but little, very little indeed, to further the hapiness of the human race, or to advance the information of the succeeding generation. I viewed with regret the many hours I have spent in indolence, and now soarly feel the want of that information which those hours would have given me had they been judiciously expended. but since they are past and cannot be recalled, I dash from me the gloomy thought and resolved in future, to redouble my exertions...
