A Dolphin's View
After the rush of an amazing holiday season, my wife Esta and I had a chance to travel to the Pacific coast of Mexico, and on a sunny afternoon we visited some remarkable dolphins. This is an experience I highly recommend since it a rare chance to be close to a mammal who no doubt sees our planet from a very different viewpoint than we do. Holding this big friendly creature inspired me to imagine seeing world in a different way: what if our air were water, how would it feel if we swam instead of walked, and what would life be like if we had to choose when to breathe?
When I admire at artworks in our gallery I try to imagine what the artists were feeling when they created such beautiful things. How did Escher see the world? How does a woodworker feel in a forest? How differently these artists must see the world! Each, however, shares the passion to create something that expresses the beauty they find in the world, and this is what we look forward to sharing with you.
And if you happen to get up close to a dolphin, look into its eyes and see the world from a different perspective!
All the best,
Jeffrey
