Erotic Nature
Mark Henson
with commentary by Michael Schwartz

What inspires you to create?

"Magic. When you can take almost nothing, and make of it something beautiful that tells us who we are, that's magic. I am inspired by everything that happens to me! I think consciousness swirls around us like a breeze—all the ideas and concepts that ever were are floating around just waiting to be noticed and acted upon. I wish to take my favorites of these breezy things and manifest them as pictures—for unknown reasons it is mysteriously important to share the vision with everyone who cares to look. I think art has another magical property—it can communicate across time—sometimes hundreds and thousands of years, and still touch us both personal and universal levels."
