Emmet Gowin
Went to see him today at MassArt. He was amazing - a true elder, speaking with such a deep tenderness and reverence for all life. It was inspiring. I tried to write down a few things he talked about, but mostly I was too absorbed with the beauty of his images and his speaking. There was something heartbreakingly beautiful about the way he talked. The wine of life distilled to its' essence.
Not exact quotes, but close:
"Art is the sensuous apprehension of what you don't yet understand"
"The unknown is friendlier than you think"
"The thoughts we have are answered by unknowns"
"The greatest journey you can ever make is to come back to where you already are"
