People have
always looked toward the skies, reached for the stars, beseeched
the heavens, and yet all the while we yearn to hold close the people we
love, struggle to translate raw feelings into lasting expressions of beauty.
And yet, all our yearnings, emotions and efforts...they end, and like
clouds, dissipate into the realm of memory.
ACROSS THE SKIES envisions a man and woman ascending through the biosphere,
moving beyond the clouds, holding on to each other as their physical bodies
now become but mere shadows. This picture imagines the end of the Spirit's
journey. If this sounds at all sad, simply imagine what it would be like if
things never ended, if things just extended infinitely in their same form.
ACROSS THE SKIES reflects an understanding that took me a long tome to
absorb- that melancholy and beauty come hand in hand; that the completion of
a picture, of a project, or even the completion of a lifetime...also heralds
a new beginning...a beginning to something so beyond our comprehension that
it can seem like a dream...but a dream that will take us...ACROSS THE SKIES.
