Art is closest to the political theory of perpetual revelation. "Any transformation is diminished in the absence of art". Gibson Winter The paradigm is sliding off the ceiling from God Creator to Gaia as process. The artist has eloped with ontology. How do dogmas of religions inherit this transformation and remain rooted in a theology? The resymbolization of the present age will inform and empower a creative praxis. The fragile earth is the inheritor of our images. ARTISTS BARBARA KERSTETTER A New York based artist, degrees include The Boston Museum School.
