Resurrections: ECO-logy & ECO-nomy
January 31, 2011 by jenniferheath
In the opening scene of the 1980 movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy, an American pilot, flying over Africa’s Kalahari Desert – an unoccupied space, right? – tosses an empty Coke bottle out the window of his plane. It drops into the hands of a Kalahari Khoikhoi (called Bushmen by Euroamericans) – whose community has never experienced mass production, let alone a Coca Cola bottle, a revered symbol of capitalism and modernity.
The Veil: Visible & Invisible Spaces
September 3, 2010 by jenniferheath
I have mentioned “the veil of the soul.” Something of the kind appears
indispensable in Art. We can, at any time, double the true beauty of an
actual landscape by half closing our eyes as we look at it. The naked Senses
sometimes see too little but then always they see too much.
– Edgar Allan Poe
