Jim Kearns
I am a Lyons, Colorado based artist creating abstract geometric wood art from the end grain of salvaged lumber. By arranging weathered growth rings into flowing patterns, I reveal entities, eyes, and ethereal forms that emerge naturally from the wood’s unique tones and textures.
My work explores the layers of consciousness and the way awareness flows between the busy mind and the quiet freedom found beyond thought. Each piece reflects the repeating, evolving patterns found both in the natural world and within the inner landscape of the self.
In a world of constant noise, I hope my work offers a moment of stillness. These pieces create a space where the shared awareness behind all experience can be felt. Much like the blank screen behind every film, there is a silent field of being behind every mind. My art seeks to remind us of that unchanging presence connecting all things. I invite you into my studio to explore these transcendental realms and find a moment of quiet contentment.
