Christopher Burk.
Visual nocturnes by Columbus, Ohio-based artist Christopher Burk.
Christopher says of his work: “The pursuit for something new, unique forms and compositions, found in our everyday exterior environments are the subjects that are consistently sought after as the major contributors to my work. The main focus showcases the mundane within the landscape, for example, transformers, utility poles, tops of structures, and wires, and how each interacts with one another in the composition. Taking something so utilitarian for example, like that of a telephone pole with all of it’s components, on average would be, and usually are, looked upon as something that is less than visually desirable, yet when presented in a unique way this provides one with the tools needed to visually tune into not only in their everyday environments but also that of the world — therefore, giving viewers the capabilities to find beauty in the simplest of things.”

I had come in to find Carlos, and here I was making Father guilty. I took a legitimate pleasure in it, which could be seen on my face, as calm as a judge in love with justice (why always this image of a judge?).
A kind of light seemed to go out of Father's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He came over to me, and his big strong hand - "Carlos, come!" shouted my instinct - swam like fiery fish in my blond hair. It lingered there, his fingers sketching a slow caress. I felt filled by hot madness, my eyes brimmed with tears, I couldn't breathe in the study's air ... what was happening to me?
Father bent down to me, his lips ready to plant a kiss on my forehead, a distant father coming from some past lost since the first days of existence.
the carnivorous lamb, agustín gómez-arcos (tr. william rodarmor)
What do we expect of our fathers?
That they make a final, legendary journey back,
travel whatever distance they must
to reach us, appear as ghosts in our new houses,
sit by our beds,
and speak in such a way
that we at last can speak, too?
Do we really hope that they might leave us at last
with a kiss,
and that kiss be so right
it explains everything that confused us as children,
each puzzling grief, each unfathomable longing?
a father's kiss, christopher bursk
