An Abundant Life - Extraordinary Art For Extraordinary Times

No matter what your belief system or background are, I think we can all agree that we are living in a time in history that is unsettling at best. We are barraged in our every day news, every minute of the day, with stories both large and small that carry messages of devastation, destruction, negativity and verbal and physical attacks on the values and ideals that many of us hold to be foundational to decency and a better quality of life. Power is being misused and abused, and fiction is becoming fact. In the face of such utter disregard for things like truth and beauty, it can seem that there is nothing that can overcome the darkness that is falling over hearts and minds.

There is one force that can overcome and confound darkness, and that is the force of creativity. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary vision, and that is what you will find in the work of John Fathom and John T. Ruddy, currently on exhibit at Cast Iron Lofts. I've written about John Fathom and the art space 660 Studios in these pages before, in the post "Lightbearers" from December of 2016, and now through this show I've had the opportunity to experience more of his vision and the vision of John T. Ruddy as well. Whatever your mood and whatever the weather, I can guarantee that your trip to this universe will bring some much needed light.
