Explore the Visionary Worlds of Jake Webster
The Matrix of Visionary Worlds originated in a record shop in the old colonial center of Salvador, Bahia, inspired in (the kabbalah-inspired fiction of) El Aleph, that of the cellar in Buenos Aires (was this a "true" example of an Aleph?), and that in the pillar in Cairo's Mosque of Amr, where the universe in its entirety throughout all time is perceivable as an infinite hum from deep within the stone...
You are connected to Jake Webster. This is neither mysticism nor fiction. Within a labyrinthine six or so degrees you are connected to every trumpet player in New Orleans, to every novelist in Delhi, to every DJ in Jakarta, to everybody below, and all of these to you.
The matrix is constructed upon the principle behind such unexpected proximity (the small-world phenomenon), with the profound difference that within the matrix, connections can be followed. Algorithms and artificial intelligence not required. Humanity yes. The Brazilian Aleph doesn't hum, it sings.
"I'LL TAKE YOU THERE!"

Bio:
The challenge one gets by direct carving and adding other materials is so rewarding. It allows me to experience making art without any hesitation or reservation. It’s like I am collaborating with myself to prepare me to work with others. Yes, wood is my primary material and being from Indiana has given me the audacity to carve stone (limestone, marble and alabaster). Indiana is known as the limestone capital of the world. Because my inspiration comes from the environment in which I live, I always have an art project that I am working on.
I am so moved by the people that come into my life, our shared stories become the foundation and the synergy for making art in this BIG/SMALL world. No matter how simple the solution we will find a way to make it complicated. Art allows us to communicate with one another without becoming angry and upset or shouting and shaking our fist when the topics become difficult. When others around us are saying let’s be tolerant, Art says no, let us be respectful. Art helps us find that inner peace as we seek the tranquility in our physical world. Art allows us to dialogue when we feel good, and know it, within ourselves. Art builds the trust that feeds the soul so that one knows what is right.
