Eyes Wide Open - Paperback

by Jon Morgan (Author)

Often, we misinterpret the world because we rely too much on our eyes, neglecting the other senses. This is particularly true in how we view and interpret art. By relying too much on our eyes, we can miss the full sensory experience of what a work of art offers to the mind and the

heart.

My hope is that this book moves beyond surfaces, beyond what we see. I want to share the stories that brought these sculptures to life, the ideas

and experiences that eventually found form in clay and metal.

I also hope that these sculptures invite us to search for common ground in our journey through a life that is, at times, difficult, yet a journey that has the potential to bring out the best in each of us-if we'll let it.

Ultimately, what informs my art is the ardent belief that life is richer when we orient away from ourselves and focus on others. When we connect with and learn from each other, we finally see the grandeur of the world with eyes wide open.
