This sign on Interstate 65 can be seen from the Indiana side of the Ohio River just as you come up upon the bridge to cross the Ohio River to reach Louisville, Kentucky and other points south and west. My blog derives it’s name from this sign.
My name is Albertus Gorman and I live in Louisville. I am an artist and art advocate. In addition to making and exhibiting my own artwork, I have an extensive background in the visual arts. I also have a love for the natural world which informs the art I make.
This page has the following sub pages.
A friend forwarded me your work which is more than fascinating. My earliest years were spent on the Island surrounded with water, called Long. Teen years I lived in the suburban area of south of Pittsburgh, loving to see the three rivers.Then I migrated to the Washington DC and Chesapeake Bay areas and now I live in Central Florida where the waters of the St. John’s River flow north to Jacksonville. Your work is unique, reflecting the destruction and creation of mankind. We are fighting so to save our waters from those hungry to develop for the sake of the green of the dollar not the green of nature’s ecology. From my perspective saving nature is critical to saving humanity. We are one! To disconnect from nature is to disconnect from humanity.
I hope many people see your work. Have you contributed to Orion Magazine? I will follow your work as i come to valuing nature late in life but it is connected deeply with valuing human nature.
Thank you …
Hi Albertus,
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog, it’s always nice to be reminded there really is an audience out there in cyberland. Indeed I was interested to visit your blog – I had a great time viewing your work – we do indeed seem to be comming from the same sort of headspace. I’d love to have a more indepth conversation about it sometime.
cheers

you’ve found beauty. thanks for sharing. i love your concept.
I cannot believe I have only just now discovered your delightful and inspiring blog- just when I am about to take (temporary) leave of the bloggy world! i have really enjoyed your words and work pictures.
I am about to go on an artist residency to Korea… but I am putting a link to you on my own blog, and once in a while I will touch base, post the odd snapshot, and try to keep in touch….:-)
what a unique and inspiring blog you’ve created here, thank you. I discovered blogging just about a year ago and still can’t squeeze in a weekly update…
but love coming across others’ like yours. found it once I came across Sofia’s Dad’s Pots, another inspiring and funny blog.
do keep the images of your work coming as they spoke to me quite strongly.
Sofia’s Dad and I are good friends…eons ago, we graduated from Murray State University’s art department. So far, the blog has been a good way to share my river experiences with a wider audience. Thanks for your kind words… Al
Thank you for your comments on my blog. I really like your work!
