Art in the Lobby.
KEITH HERKLOTZ Franklin ME
I seem to have this wonderful "affliction" for finding things of interest to me that beg to be seen with the eye of beauty; the discarded, cast-off, no longer needed, natural or man- made thing. So I get excited by its inherent potential to join with other objects I've found and I put them together to see how they hum and sing
The Buddhists' sense of beauty have no distinction between beauty and ugliness like we westerners do. There is more of the feeling of a non-dualistic "thusness," an accepting balance of the thing. For me, that balance of the parts is what I seek to find here.
Look beyond the lowly or exhalted materials here to follow the lines, curves, contrasts and humor of the pieces, and find visual in the work.
