On The Whaling Museum Sea Glass Ocean by MJ Levy Dickson Beneath suspended bones that rise how fitting now an ocean lies as shards of wayward seeming glass that shaped or tumbled smoothly pass for those that ground in bottom sand adrift in journeys years have spanned will find their way to shores unknown evolved to seem as jeweled stone symbolic of intentioned force eroding and renewing course recorded as eternity that consciousness will live to see as wonder nature will expose and art has rendered in repose. Portly Bard Old man. Ekphrastic fan. Prefers to craft with sole intent of verse becoming complement... ...and by such homage being lent... ideally also compliment. ** Like Sea Glass: A Hand Full of Light, Echo or Shadow Medium: Handmade glass shapes https://nha.org/ “…In this enchanted mood, thy spirit ebbs away to whence it came; becomes diffused through time and space...” Herman Melville Like Sea Glass: A Hand Full of Light is inspired by sea glass found on beaches around the globe. The project pairs beauty with message, visceral experience with an opportunity for reflection, and a new way to define, enjoy, and observe beauty. The installation provides a counterpoint to a culture in which emotions are intellectualized and verbalized – yet not available to everyone in these forms. Encompassing thought and meaning visually, tactilely, and aurally, the installation offers a bridge by which diverse audiences can experience the unexpressed. This interactive installation echoes the harmony between the head of the whale and the bow of the whaleboat. To honour and remember this whale is a reminder of his massive beauty and grace.
