FOCUS: Time and pressure is in geology, but also in the creative process

By Karen Burnette Garner | In the field of geology, the study of rocks and their creation come down to two pretty simple ideas: time and pressure. Those elements take everyday materials and transform them into something altogether different. Precious stones are the result of time and pressure on the crystallization of minerals. Coal becomes diamond, sea sand and creatures become limestone and slate, rocks become different rocks through the forces of pressure-created heat and time. Time and pressure can allow the most fragile tree root to split the massive boulder.

FOCUS: What drives the artists to keep “taking a licking” from viewers?

By Karen Burnette Garner, Dacula, Ga. | I may be showing my age, but remember the old Timex watch commercial? To display the fine workmanship and durability of the watch, the spots showcased examples of the Timex being abused in many ways, and at the end, it was always still working! The message was the product was built tough, built to last, and was a good investment (though they were, and are, very affordable.) As an artist myself, may I ask, what do we do to make our work, and ourselves, able to “take a licking and keep on ticking?”
