SO & SO ART

photography, music, spoken word, paintings, writing

a moment. a movement. a memory. a story.

The mysterious Hopewell Indians (1000 BC-AD 600) left a memory image in Southern Ohio, a few miles from my ranch style house on Danville Pike, where I grew up. The Great Serpent Mound is a quarter mile long earthwork, a coiled snake with a spiral tail, expelling (or swallowing) an egg (or an eye). Archeologists wonder. Who were those four-foot people who created the eye-egg above Brush Creek? What were they communicating twenty centuries ago? An image has enormous presence.
