About the Item

"My artwork is always in progress. There is not a goal. There is not a category for my work. It is all about enjoying the process of every moment. On a blank sheet of washi calligraphy paper, I make a stroke with the brush as an extension of my arm and hand done in one spontaneous movement. Not necessarily to compose words but just enjoying the feeling of being one with my tools – paper, brush, ink and my spirit. There is no right or wrong. Mistakes do not exist. Too much ink? Too little ink? Another piece of paper can be used to absorb extra ink becoming a beautiful print. All possibilities exist. Calligraphy on paper can be folded with delicate sensitivity by the tips of my fingers. Not necessarily to create an origami form, but just to enjoy looking at the accidental intersection of strokes on the folded paper. These lines overlay each other and the feeling changes. The stroke quality alters meeting other lines in unexpected ways, or just disappear in the folds. Looking through the translucent folded paper at light adds another dimension to the experience of discovery. The lines cast shadows that pose for me. I click the shutter as the strokes are growing and moving – appearing and disappearing. I change the angle or the sun moves. They pose beautifully and are changing constantly. My photographs of origami and calligraphy are a dance of light, line, and the unexpected." - Chaco Terada The overall dimensions, including the frame, are 28 3/4 x 22 3/4 inches. This is edition 2/12.

Sunrise, August 24, 2008, 7:17 AM, Eagle Nest Lake, New Mexico
By David H. Gibson
Located in Dallas, TX
Reflections on Eagle Nest Lake "My first trip to Eagle Nest Lake was over 30 years ago. I was captivated by mists rising over the lake and flowing along the floor of the valley. With a background in theater, the unfolding light events immediately commanded my attention. The first photographs were made and I was hooked on Eagle Nest Lake and the opportunities it presented for photography. It has become my custom during an annual August visit to Taos, to begin the day with a drive to Eagle Nest Lake through Taos Canyon and over the pass descending into Moreno Valley. The first glimpse of the valley through the trees reveals the atmospheric conditions for the morning. The valley is 8,300 feet above sea level. This high elevation produces crisp cool mornings with mists often filling the valley. Early on I had no idea that I would be committed to this ethereal place for such a long time. During those first visits, cattle were grazing around the lake and the owners of a ranching operation had allowed lake access for fishermen. I learned later that the lake was formed by a dam built by two ranchers in the early 20th century to impound water of the Cimarron River for irrigation. This created a two thousand acre lake named for the eagles nesting in the area. The lake was stocked and fishermen arrived. The Eagle Nest...
