You sent me to see Janice Lowrey’s exhibit at the Grand Central Gallery in Santa Ana. As I stumbled around caught in the world of “Family Tales” and other sculptural creations/notebooks, I noticed a quote painted on the kick plate on one of the interior walls. Was it an epiphany or a maybe a legend for the whole exhibit? It has stuck with me as a powerful benediction.

“Memory believes before knowing remembers.” —William Faulkner

Thank you for sharing your gifts!

How art is used to express it. Such a fine tuned method in many instances… with teachers along the way to guide. God bless dear Betsy and may the heavens be filled with the words and images of genius.

I think the essence of truth is the beingness of what already is.
Art can represent that mimically and conceptually.
Neither the mimic nor the concept are the essence of truth, just beautiful, inspiring and oftentimes shocking representations of it.

We decided, generally, that art is anything beyond basic function, that which is UNnecessary. Not to be confused with decoration, however. Decoration is meaningless. Whereas the meaning of art is to uncover that which is most necessary: the truth.
