How Do You Define Infinite Space? [Visual Art]
Infinite Space means something different to everyone. To Craig Hawkins it means a spiritual space and unification. That’s what he has accomplished in his 16 set charcoal paintings. Each 29x43 paper stretched on canvas is of someone he knows and facing what; another person, openness, nothingness, God? The photos are on white area, and open to free access.

We make things well; we are a breed of animal that enjoys a dose of beauty blended with our function, and this aesthetic pre-dates remembered history. With a nod to the past, authors Warren and Julie Payne focused their attention on the clay works of the last century chronicled in their new book, Clear as Mud: Early 20
