In wilderness I can just begin to perceive the complicated relationships in these mysterious communities, a message flowing through this hidden world and then flowing through my brush onto my canvas. A painting can be a cosmos, a microcosm with its own spirit, able to draw the imagination of the viewer into a new place, to feel its force and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me the magic of the landscape is that it is actually a parallel world to that of humankind and its culture. A world that emphasizes busyness and production, meant to fill all the quiet open spaces in our minds can be numbing, exhausting. What I depend on is the separateness of wilderness. I am delighted when I find a place that is perfect in its wholeness, clearly a world apart, that requires nothing of me, and that offers me nothing but a vision of its self-sufficiency. I don\u2019t want to be merely in a place that exists outside and beyond me, I want to become that place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/04\/Anthony-\u2013-Lost-Pong-Cobscook.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2034\" width=\"404\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/04\/Anthony-\u2013-Lost-Pong-Cobscook.jpg 803w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/04\/Anthony-\u2013-Lost-Pong-Cobscook-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/04\/Anthony-\u2013-Lost-Pong-Cobscook-768x558.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><figcaption>Janice Anthony, <em>Lost Pond, Cobscook, <\/em>2019. \u200b\u200bAcrylic on linen, 17 x 23 in.&nbsp;<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist&#8217;s Statement The ongoing energy of life in a wild place, existing outside my experience, is fascinating to me.
