HCA #29

 Holy Church of Art

Sermonette #29

Brothers and sisters in Art,
Visual art is a language of images, but a language none-the-less. It has grammar and structure. As a result, it is capable of expressing ideas and emotions, telling stories, being descriptive and poetic and more. It can be clumsy or articulate.
It can intersect with the language of words and the language of geometry.
Frame your art as language and see what happens.

Role models

 Role Models


When the Gods cohabitate,
Rocking the celestial fields,
They create all creation.
Should we do anything less?
You scream, “Oh God!” and tell me
This is heaven.
Did we awake to a world we made anew?

Great lovers in myth and history
Were tortured in their love,
Willing to trade now for eternity.
Is their lesson a measuring stick
For our temporal circumstance?
Could we grab eternity
In the smallest fleck of time?

The Blessed Virgin, rewarded for her trials
As mother, rises from the stable floor
To the Throne of Heaven.
Should I expect less for all the diapers,
Stumbles, wounds and losses
Than a son of God?

100 Livea (Condensed)

 Her length in centimeters. Her temperature taken in the ear. How many blocks she stacked before the tower fell. Her allowance. The length of her hair. Her IQ. Her bust size. The minutes it took for her to lose her virginity. The pay per hour at Burger King. Her GPA in high school. The carats in her engagement ring. Her weight. Her weight. Her weight. The square footage of her house. Her weight. Her blood pressure. Her age. Her weight. The cost of a hair appointment. The endless hours in the recliner. The weight of her ashes.

HCA #28

 Holy Church of Art

Sermonette #28

Brothers and sisters in Art,
ART embraces all art, but it has expectations.
It expects integrity, truthfulness and commitment.
It expects a vision that brings the viewer to a new place.
It should be a gift.
