The Lightness of Being
Gravity: The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
In life’s journey, we throw ourselves at many things, lovers, work, passions, and habits. If we throw with too little momentum, we fall back, as captured by gravity. With too much momentum, our lives can speed out of control, and yet, sometimes achieving balance, an endless orbit, can leave us in an interminable tug-of-war between staying on path, or the yearn to fall back, the ultimate gravity of consequences.
This series is a growing collection that explores that connection.
In The Lightness of Being 2020 there is a “pressed under-ness”, but the things that are pressing are light, beautiful, even magical. In this piece there is a paradox of conveyed movement while being deprived of movement simultaneously.
