Endres Gallery
- Prairie Village, Kansas
Special Note: You may notice that this
show debuted during September 2001, the month now sadly known as 911, when
terrorists attacked New York City and Washington D.C.. After 911 occurred,
I am told that visitors to this show pondered deeply the words and images
presented below. Even people who were in the building for other reasons
stopped and walked through the entire show, reading and thinking.
The original goal of this show was to be visually
pleasing and intellectually stimulating. Word phrases containing positive,
inspirational, and thought-provoking messages, were linked with
appropriate visual images. A short poem opens the show, describing the
garden, and the imagery surrounding the garden as, a metaphor to human
life. The viewer then proceeds to view artwork and read words as they
"walk" the "garden".

Think of a garden, and you have the essence of living.
Reflected within the garden's boundaries are the joys, beauty, and failures
of life. Each garden is different, some needing more work than
others. While some gardens are blessed with fertile soil, water, and
sunshine, other gardens struggle to survive. All gardens require work.
The more work a garden receives, the more enduring is its spirit. The
work of a garden is unending.
Think of a garden, and you have a metaphor to human life.
Welcome to my garden.
