-Carl Jung,\u00a0Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Have there been times in your life when you\u2019ve known things before you could have known them? Carl Jung coined the term \u201csynchronicity\u201d to explain these phenomena. We may never know why these things really happen, though theories abound. Perhaps there is some unknown sensory activity \u2013 often called a sixth sense \u2013 that gives people the ability to perceive not just those things in our direct environs, but things and events through the dimension of time. Or perhaps these are, as Jung said, simply \u201cmeaningful coincidences\u201d Zuriel Waters<\/a> joined us to talk about\u00a0Jello Moon<\/em><\/a>, his exhibition at Kathryn Markel Gallery running until May 17. To accompany the work in this show, Waters penned a beautiful poem beginning with the following lines:<\/p>\n I am a tree. An underwater tree.<\/em><\/p>\n They are clouds, of moon jellies perfectly buoyant,<\/em><\/p>\n floating in air.<\/em><\/p>\n Water is air.<\/em><\/p>\n (wall is aquarium)<\/em><\/p>\n Water planet\u2026 water stars,<\/em><\/p>\n Celestial ocean.<\/em><\/p>\n To learn more about the works in the show and Waters\u2019 writing, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n Alan Bray<\/a> chatted with us about his upcoming show at Garvey Simon Gallery<\/a>.\u00a0Inhabited Landscape\u00a0<\/em>is slated to open April 30 and run until May 30. In his work, Bray, who lives in Maine on his wife\u2019s family\u2019s Christmas tree farm, tends to indicate human involvement \u2013 leftovers, as he calls them. Simply put, he emphasizes ways that the landscape is molded to someone\u2019s needs.
