INTERNATIONAL ART PROJECT




AN INTERNATIONAL ART PROJECT

Compared with the infinite size of the known universe and the distance between galaxies, the distance between person to person on planet Earth begins to seem microscopic! We are all closer than we realize! Even so, with six billion people and even billions more species, coupled with the exponential growth of technologies that increase our separation, it is easy to feel disconnected and alone...

This project, stemming from individual community art projects and growing into an International art project, is about sharing the moments when you felt connected to something greater than yourself... maybe to another person, an animal, the environment or to any possible interpretation of God. Someone on the other side of the planet wants to feel what you felt when you could have sworn the universe was closing in on you and maybe all you could do was squeeze the hand of the person next to you because there were no words to describe, or the moment when you wanted to scream, "Did anybody else just see that?!" Someone out there wants to know about the time when you caught a stranger's eye and you both just smiled.

This worldwide collection of moments of human connectivity are encouraged from ALL walks of life with no discrimination whatsoever. This project is an extension of myself and without knowing it is an extension of you too. The principle point is that I can't do it alone.

MARCH- "I looked at him in surprise and asked him where he got his stone".


       The first year of our marriage we spent a week during the summer visiting my family.  They live up near Lake Erie.  We were at the beach with together, and we were noticing all the beautiful stones.  There were thousands of them and each different.  Some with sparkles, some with gold. There were stones of every color. While I was looking at some by myself, I noticed a small grey stone.  It was just an ordinary stone, nothing special, but I was drawn to it. I picked it up, and called to Humberto to come look at it.  He was about 15 feet away from me, and when I called him, I saw he was picking up a stone as well.  He came over and I showed him.  He looked at it and then showed me the stone he picked up.  I looked at him in surprise and asked him where he got it!  He pointed to the spot where he just was standing several steps away.  My stone was precisely the other half of the one he had just picked up.  They fit together perfectly.  We already knew we had something special in our relationship and this showed us even more clearly that we were meant to be together.  It was fate.
