Souls Seeking

In my visual work I often use the circle to speak of soul. This image grew out of reading a Bonhoeffer quote in Christian Wiman's recent book, My Bright Abyss: It will be the task of our generation not to seek ‘great’ things, but to save and preserve our souls out of the chaos, and to realize that it is the only thing we can carry as a 'prize' from the burning building. There are two souls in the image, the yearning human and the very present God. Thanks for respecting the artist and seeking permission to use.

The McGurk effect is a compelling demonstration of how we all use visual speech information. The effect shows that we can't help but integrate visual speech into what we 'hear'.
