Hi, my name is Caleb Zwanzig. I am an artist currently working in the Denver area. I have my Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Azusa Pacific University, and I hope to attend graduate school in the next few years.
I gain most of my inspiration from pouring over old maps, as well as reading biographies and other historical accounts about the exploration of the American West by European settlers. My hope is for us to learn something about who we are by where we've been and where we are going. I hope you enjoy the work. Thank you. To see a collection of my completed work, please visit czwanzigportfolio.tumblr.com.
Those who will not slip beneath turning downward through its black water will never know the source from which we drink, nor find in the darkness glimmering — David Whyte
The Well of Grief
the still surface on the well of grief
to the place we cannot breathe
the secret water, cold and clear,
the small round coins
thrown by those who wished for something else.
