Art and Meaning
William Catling
Life is a journey. It is a search for meaning amidst a confusing array of conflicting forces set in opposition to finding answers. Using earthen materials, ancient references are explored, including intuitive connections to suffering, memories, transcendence and spiritual redemption. His work is designed to be symbolic of an internal journey, quietly impacting the space around it or the viewer who comes close. Some of the figures have a rough, textured surface, others are thinned, some are frail, limited in power, while a few begin to evoke a strong presence or sense of purpose.
The L.A. Collaboration (www.lacollaboration.com), a violin and piano performing duo, was established in 2001 by Duane Funderburk and Alex Russell. Giving more than 50 performances annually in duo recitals & with orchestra, they tour concert halls, universities, & churches both nationally and internationally. The Los Angeles Collaboration is the ensemble-in-residence at Azusa Pacific University and Lake Avenue Church, both located in Southern California.
