A GIFT TO THE DOGS OF TIME
LAND IS THE CREATIVE VISION OF AUSTIN-BASED ARTISTS RYAN RHODES AND CALEB OWEN EVERITT. THESE GUYS DON'T NEED THE SAME GRAND INTRODUCTION WE GIVE MOST OF OUR VISITING ARTISTS - THAT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN PRODUCING ART AND DESIGNS FOR DEUS EX MACHINA FOR OVER TWO YEARS - ALMOST SINCE THE DAWN OF THE TEMPLE ITSELF. THEIR LATEST COLLECTION OF ART, A GIFT TO THE DOGS OF TIME WILL FOCUS ON LIFE, DEATH, AND DREAMS. ACROSS THE ANCIENT WORLD, MANY HELD BELIEFS ABOUT DREAMS, THE AFTERLIFE, AND THE PRESERVATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS AFTER LIFE. SUCH A THEME IS, OF COURSE, PART AND PARCEL OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE, AS IT ENCOMPASSES EVERY ASPECT OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS BEFORE THE INEVITABLE, IGNOBLE END - DEATH !
