Giuseppe Penone

Went to Art Gallery of Ontario and happened upon this.

Here he is seen working on Versailles Cedar, 2000-2003 currently installed in Galleria Italia. Penone arrives at these forms by carving the tree trunk leaving the knots in place until they emerge as limbs, revealing the sapling within.

We are all strangers in a strange land, longing for home, but not quite knowing what or where home is. We glimpse it sometimes in our dreams, or as we turn a corner, and suddenly there is a strange, sweet familiarity that vanishes almost as soon as it comes Madaleine L’Engle

Illustration of Empyrean by Gustove Dore for Dante’s Divine Comedy

“In old cosmologies the stars were sometimes seen as pinholes in the curtain of the night sky, through which glimpses of a brighter, heavenly world are received; thus, according to Kant, the French scientist Maupertuis interpreted the nebulae as openings in the firmament, through which the empyrean is seen.” - Rudolf Arnheim in Art and Visual Perception

Always strive for perfection. For instance, try to draw a perfect circle; and since you can’t draw a perfect circle, the involuntary flaw will reveal your personality. But if you want to reveal your personality by drawing an imperfect circle-your circle-you will bungle the whole thing. Pablo Picasso

Spencer Finch pays tribute to the great American poet Emily Dickinson in his art installation, “366 (Emily’s Miraculous Year)“. He set up 366 colored candles in a spiraled form, and each color corresponds to a Dickinson poem that was written in 1862– the miraculous year where she wrote 366 poems in 365 days. The poems each mention a color, and that color is transformed into a candle in Finch’s work, to burn for 24 hours one after another.
