Inhaltsangabe

Image making itself, can become a tool for learning similar to the reading of a book. The acquisition of the basic skills required for the paint/draw process are outlined as they aid the artist/reader in building awareness. Image search and process unite to philosophically change one's point of view about life. In Crossing A Threshold, artist Ian Garrioch unpacks visual language, this other mode of knowing. Through a gathering of his paintings and text, he charts a journey through the visual alphabet, including colour, shape, and value. Decades of thought about life, art, history, the environment and political trends solidify into points of view-all this and more is explored through over seventy images of the artist's work accompanying the text. Crossing A Threshold will be of interest to anyone that is curious about journeys in general. It is a personal journey with pictures about the trip. A travelogue. Young artists may find that it helps them solidify their journey no matter which path they eventually choose. For those that just like art, it is another point of view in that genre. Art is not just an object, but rather it is a highway searched for new places to see and know.
