so amazed…

While house/dog-sitting I found this beautiful book by Allen Ginsberg, a nature artist who crates the most amazing art from elements found in nature, ice, sticks, thorns, anything basically that holds together (or doesn’t). I marvel about his tenacity and patience he has developed. Isn’t that what we all need (and practice) especially in making art. There is more times that we fail than succeed and yet we keep doing it.

In the process of making his fragile artworks he wonders about the immanence and yet impermanence of this world and how beautifully it is held in balance. At the end of this little clip he says, “I am so amazed at times that I am actually alive.”
