Falling Up

kyle warner, 2003 – acrylic & charcoal on board and drawing paper
Have you ever felt like someone suddenly turned gravity off? The reality I live can often become nothing more than a game; governed by rules and competition, I sometimes feel like a pawn. I was not made for this game. I have been fashioned and reworked over and over for an entirely different purpose, even if I don’t always know what it is. Even though the chessboard may fall apart and float into the blackness, the stone that this little pawn has been carved of will remain.
