Sublime Escape an introduction by Kelly Bridegum
May 9th, 2008 by Editor
Sublime Escape is exactly that, a sublime escape. It offers a pathway
through beauty and freedom. It celebrates the peaceful and
revitalizing moments that we witness and experience everyday
of our lives but do not always take the time to allow them to
offer us escape.
The pieces of art and writing throughout this section are ironically
poetic and simply perfect. The work is beautiful and completely
unraveling. These artists will challenge your knowledge of our
culture and the philosophies that have shaped our society. It is
through their references and their ironies that they have found
release and created beauty.
Let the color in images like Giraffe by Joseph Vestal or Youth by
Leah Madison wrap you up and carry you away. Float through
time and space in the poem Imitation by Josh Culpepper and
contemplate the problems facing society and individual beliefs
with Genocide Over Tea by Seth Lagana.
While some pieces over the next few pages you may find
repulsive they will offer you a different perspective: hope where
there is none, beauty in the tiresome and the freedom to escape
and enjoy.•
