...Caril Chasens
I have been searching, looking for new movements, new ideas, innovation, new directions and developments, new avant-garde, in the visual arts for the 21th century.
Particularly, I would like to connect with artists who are moving in my direction.
Me, I carve sculpture, using the unique nature of wood, and I would like to be part of a movement toward a green new art, an art that doesn't give up in this new millennium.
In my search, I have felt the need for a links page, for this and other innovative directions people may be taking.
If you can suggest a link that might interest people who hit this page, please use the reply form at the bottom of this page.
