“By making my PhD thesis Open Access, I hope to inspire people around the world to look up at the stars and not down at their feet; to wonder about our place in the universe and to try and make sense of the cosmos. Anyone, anywhere in the world should have free, unhindered access to not just my research, but to the research of every great and enquiring mind across the spectrum of human understanding.” ~ Stephen Hawking on his thesis being published online.

I appreciate the comments that my artwork generates amongst friends 🙂 Statements and questions such as:

From about 20-25 feet away it looks perfect!
Is bad art better than no art?
It looks great as the sun goes down.
It photographs well.

Ahhh. What truth lies in jest.

I know! 🙂 Probably under some latent, genetically coded chapter “Quantitative Data Analysis for Trick-or-Treaters”!

Halloween. A time to also remember all those wonderful souls that have passed on. The Life of Death from Marsha Onderstijn on Vimeo.

Wow. More on Lithops.

That witches hat! Love. Love. Love.

Best night. Best company. Best brothers.

“We may not have wings or leaves, but we humans do have words. Language is our gift and our responsibility. I’ve come to think of writing as an act of reciprocity with the living land.  Words to remember old stories, words to tell new ones, stories that bring science and spirit back together to nurture our becoming people made of corn.” (p. 347)

And I desperately wish I was making this up too! Yes, I did something similar except it was with a key fob! The darn thing exploded into small pieces when I bit down on it. So funny. I’m excited to see John & Hank!! Save me a little turtle!!!

I love Gwen Murphy’s style!! On display at the Surrey Arts Centre.
