Museum of the American Indian: Robert Houle Retrospective, part 2

One aspect of the exhibition explores a collaboration with with the poet and personal friend, Brenda Grushko.  Houle used this opportunity to explore both abstract expressionism via geometrics, while striving to make an emotional connection to the poems through his art.  

Epigram: The Shortest Distance, 1972

Coming together

                         is a very slow process

               when you're on

   parallel

lines.

from "Moments Out of Time"

Parallel Lines, 1972

        Let's you and I

            be different

and seem 

           indifferent

    when we say

"goodbye."

~ Brenda Grushko, 

from "Moments Out of Time"
