Mike Rathbun - Artist Talk
2pm - 3pm, MAHB 109
Rathbun states, "How can I see the world again? In amongst the day to day stresses, the need for money, fear has made the world empty and invisible. How do I recover my place in the world? How can I recover my sight when I sit in my studio in an academic environment? My work has been energy that I have gained from sources, (i.e. books and experience) and poured out in physical form (i.e. space and material)."
"I built a boat. I built it with my hands. Building it was like a ritual. It was like making a magical spell as a preparation. I am going to sail it across Lake Michigan. I will be out in the middle by myself being supported by something I made. Hopefully I will be at a place that is both joyful and fearful at the same time. In any case I will have built something that will enable me to move another step forward."
