Gary John Gresl - From the Environment category:
- In a Time of Googling, Grow Where You Are Planted...
If we awake each morning and find our roots are well planted, perhaps we can show in our art-making the indebtedness to our physical and cultural environments. If some of us select subject, theme, imagery or method which might be construed as Regional, then simply let it be. Relax about it. We are part of the fabric of culture... of visual art in which all geographic and intellectual regions weave together. (Gary John Gresl)
Gary John Gresl - From the Freedom category:
- In a Time of Googling, Grow Where You Are Planted...
We are not robots, nor slaves, nor dupes. We grow here. We make our choices here. Part of the beauty of the current scheme is the fact that we are free to reach for other things, to see what ideas abound outside our Region. (Gary John Gresl)
Gary John Gresl - From the Responsibility category:
We have the Life Force burning within us. We extend the natural process through thought and artistic expression. Let us each speak to issues we find significant. We grow and explore at the tip of Life's evolution, and we bear responsibility for notifying others of what we have considered. (Gary John Gresl)
Gary John Gresl - From the Time category:
Undoubtedly the Cosmos has created many devices to measure Time. The one we know for sure is us. (Gary John Gresl)
Gary John Gresl - From the Uniqueness category:
-In a Time of Googling, Grow Where You Are Planted
As far as we are complete as persons and artists, we express what is important in our lives. Sometimes that is drawn from the local, and sometimes from the remote and exotic. If we are considered Regionalists, then let us be so by our own free will. Let others categorize us as they want, but let us be as unique as we choose to be. (Gary John Gresl)
Gary John Gresl - From the Wisdom category:
We will sleep for millions and millions of years. Let us use our brief time wisely. (Gary John Gresl)
