THE WILDERNESS AND THE DESERT OF THE REAL

Geoff Hall, a geordie mate of mine from Bristol has just published a book entitled:

The Wilderness and the Desert of the Real;

here's what he says about it:

Some of the greatest detractors from our work as artists are those who share redemption’s story. “You should quit and get a proper job!” is my favourite. However, between the calling and our release into the public domain comes The Wilderness! It is a journey marked by attrition and disorientation as we struggle to make sense of our calling in a dry and weary land. This is not the end of it, but preparation for the public, cultural domain. The good news is there are guides who can help us navigate the terrain.

The Artist and the Theologian:

The artist wants to get to the marketplace to participate in the conversation. The theologian wants to control the conversation. The artist wants a free-forming discourse on the plastic horizon. The theologian wants to measure the distance to the horizon and make sure nobody goes beyond it.

Geoff Hall

All the best Geoff!
