A mostly-words venture that elaborates on themes I have been exploring for several decades on my design, art and politics blogs. Here I will write about the connections between art, politics, life and community, and how we bridge the disconnections of time, space, tribe and opinion to live a life of meaning and purpose. I will continue to share writing about art and the creative process at Iskra Fine Art, and my environmental and urbanist articles on Medium will remain available with occasional additions. Some previous writing from Medium will be shared here, as the themes have heightened relevance in the current moment. See more about what this blog is about and my path to writing at What is the Iskra Journal?
