Images of Intimacy

Images of intimacy are a rarity in the modern art scene in Kansas.  Why this is so has so many speculative aspects, not excluding the invalidity of the premise, that any views I venture to give here will be incidental and inadequate. 

Looking at the photos I have taken since coming to Kansas, I notice the dichotomy of the old and the new. 


Sculpture at Nelson Atkins Musuem, Downtown Kansas, Missouri
A couple in harmony


Brick sculpture at Johnson County Community College, Kansas
Two individuals in discord

To Mike, I say this:

Count not the distance and the time
For hearts of the truest mettle
Absence joins and time settles.
