marg herder creative works

For me, my songs, photos, pictures and writings illuminate my world. Through their creation I experience more fully. The actions and results of my creative process bring order to, and provide a context for the events of my life. They are a way of stopping time, taking a fleeting glimpse or a momentary feeling and holding it up to the light.

I toy with the concept of impermanence. In a way I think I should float neither here nor there. I should simply be in now, and not spend effort capturing moments. I wonder if my creations are attempts to create permanence where it cannot be.

In our society it's expected, maybe encouraged, to offer up one's experiences, visions and dreams with the thought of making some difference in the lives of others. I don't expect my creations to change you. I suppose they might be meaningful, but I'm not sure I understand the mechanism. Mostly I hope you find this look at the selected moments and feelings of my experience thought provoking.
