“A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner, so if one’s life is cold and bare he can blame none but himself.” Louis L’Amour (1908 – 1988) If you would like to purchase any of my art in a larger format, please contact me. Other works by Earthairfire:
Centuries of grime on an old colonial church in Leon, Nicaragua has helped create these wonderful textures and subtle colours.
One of three photos I have of a piece that was destroyed in an earth quake long ago. First thing I ever carved in plaster, I did no drawings in advance, and the hollowed out round scoops were an after thought that never entered my head when I first started carving it. I say all this because it was a unique and beautiful piece then and my fond feelings for it have not changed. I recently did a larger version in wood and used power tools to make it. It does not have the same energy though for a variety of reasons. I like to tell people if there was one thing I could show them that proved I have an artist’s talent, this would be the one piece.

/ I have walked through many lives, / some of them my own, / and I am not who I was, / though some principle of being / abides, from which I struggle / not to stray. / When I look behind, / as I am compelled to look / before I can gather strength / to proceed on my journey, / I see the milestones dwindling / toward the horizon / and the slow fires trailing / from the abandoned camp-sites, / over which scavenger angels / wheel on heavy wings. / Oh, I have made myself a tribe / out of my true affections, / and my tribe is scattered! / How shall the heart be reconciled / to its feast of losses? / In a rising wind / the manic dust of my friends, / those who fell along the way, / bitterly stings my face. / Yet I turn, I turn, / exulting somewhat, / with my will intact to go / wherever I need to go, / and every stone on the road / precious to me. / In my darkest night, / when the moon was covered / and I roamed through wreckage, / a nimbus-clouded voice / directed me: / “Live in the layers, / not on the litter.” / Though I lack the art / to decipher it, / no doubt the next chapter / in my book of transformations / is already written. / I am not done with my changes. ..Stanley Kunitz The Layers.. From the Abstract collection and related to the Antiquity and Journal series, “The Layers” is a mixed media work of acrylic and watercolour combined…reminiscent of a wall where the crumbling plaster reveals it’s history, where as the poem says, every stone is precious, every layer a story….on the surface we see the wall, scarred and pitted showing it’s core, on another level aspects of life itself…..names, patterns, colours, fabrics... / Possibilities / Classical Antiquiity 2 / Antiquity
