Painting is a long road.
The beauty, to me,
is in the not knowing where one is going.

FREDERICK FRANCK'S TO-DO LIST

We don’t understand to create;
we create in order to understand.

– Cecil Collins

 


THE AWAKENED EYE

ART AND THE INTIMATE UNKNOWABLE

This site was created as a Temenos of sorts – a sanctuary where the oft-overlooked relationship between creative expression and the unknown/unknowable can be openly explored and celebrated.

I hope you’ll visit!

Creativity is radical discontinuity
in a pattern of thought.

– David Bohm
