Steven H. Bridgens Current Fascinations: Words, paintings, sculpture, the ancient world, the idea of it, anyway, silence and the absence of it, sleep and the same, dead bluesmen, dead Europeans, actors and the demi-monde, espionage imagined, not real, the primeval forest of Buddhism in all its humble glory, the savage tyranny of the political stage, the toxic and enlightening proscenium of the internet, the Jungian depths of the self, the flickering colored shadows of the cinema and architecture, the utopian possibilities of life on a garden Earth, the other side.
