Publisher ’ s Note
Though we Floridians endured a hyperbolically long and brutal winter , we can rest assured that it has come to an end . With the change in seasons comes transformation . Fiction writer A . C . Crispin once wrote , “ Remember that on any world the wind eventually wears away the stone , because the stone can only crumble ; the wind can change .”
With new beginnings and a whirlwind of immense change , so too does ARTBORNE grow . Orlando has been thirsty for growth in the arts ; the millions funneled into the Dr . Phillips Performing Arts Center should serve as an indicator . And yet , Orlando remains a small , conservative city in the arts , content to produce pleasant work with little desire to challenge anyone — challenge being a word often associated with offense .
The March issue of ARTBORNE Magazine features the confrontational imagery of Becky Flanders , along with Chris Carr ’ s refl ective photo series , and the “ natural glitches ” of Brooks Dierdorff . I sincerely hope as you read through the articles this month , you generate questions beyond your comfort zone . After all , that ’ s where the magic happens .
