Gregory Colbert: Citations en anglais

“In exploring the shared language and poetic sensibilities of all animals, I am working toward rediscovering the common ground that once existed when people lived in harmony with animals.”

"Nature's Living Masterpieces" in Camera Arts (July 2005)
Contexte: In exploring the shared language and poetic sensibilities of all animals, I am working toward rediscovering the common ground that once existed when people lived in harmony with animals. The images depict a world that is without beginning or end, here or there, past or present. I hope that the overall effect is an experience of wonder and contemplation, serenity and hope.

“In the next 25 years, the human race will have to decide whether or not to preserve the bestiary of Nature’s living masterpieces.”

As quoted in "Epiphanies in Sepia and Umber" by Matthew Gurewitsch, in The Wall Street Journal, (15 March 2005)
Contexte: In the next 25 years, the human race will have to decide whether or not to preserve the bestiary of Nature’s living masterpieces. Ashes and Snow is not meant to tell people to do some things and not to do other things. It’s meant to inspire. I hope it’s not a requiem.

“I have invented nothing. I have simply documented a magical alchemy that I want to share.”

“I spent all my time at school in the library. Bad teachers can teach you to learn on your own.”
