Dan Steeves

 Things We Put on a Hill 

"Everything" wrote the French philosopher Gaston Bachelaard,"Comes alive when contradictions accumulate." The prints of Dan Steeves have long been fecund places where paradox and contradiction abound.
Gil McElroy, from his essay "Things We Put on a Hill"





Things We Put on a Hill



Closure



The eruption of the new



The Fencing of the Table



Fire-fields



from light to obscurity and darkness



Indenture



its resonance deepened with many viewings



It makes us feel white



It pushes below surfaces



nowhere to be seen



Perpending Midgic



the place of memory and contemplation



Safe Passage



Succor in Abandonment



Ten Years On



The Last Home



The thought can needle



through the darkness



Tidal White
