WELCOME TO THE SUBLIME WORLD
Inspired by our travels—to the farther afield and the familiar—sometimes we encounter a moment that compels us to stop and capture it. The subject and its associated feelings. It takes something rare to ignite these magical moments that breach the boundary between the obvious and the sublime.
Because these special moments are elusive and inspiring, we felt compelled to share them.
The Sublime World is a place with no rules and no boundaries. This is a visual sanctuary of atmosphere and sensation, designed to inspire stillness, awaken curiosity and gently soothe and restore the soul.
Here, this form of art is curated with care, reverence and wonder. But never to be effete or excluding; the opposite of a gallery or museum. Be free to visit on your terms.
We invite you to visit often. Our collection evolves, returning again and again, with
new discoveries and moments we fall in love with along the way.
We invite you to disconnect from the loud and busy outside world - if only for a moment.
And listen to your "sotto voce' - the quiet voice that is always within.
Welcome to The Sublime World.

The Artist’s Reflection
Behind the Lens
Carrie King
Since I can recall anything at all, it began with an intense desire to understand the "why" of things. I struggled throughout childhood and beyond, trying to build a construct that gave agency to who we are. Why we exist. The nature of the soul and life around us. It wasn’t until well into adulthood that I began to study the ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle and establish clarity.
How we conceive nature, spirituality and an understanding of those that came before us has always, always fascinated me. This is why I record what I see and what moves me – with my camera.
Aristotle said that human intellect “seems by nature to rule and lead and have a conception about things that are beautiful and divine, and to be either divine itself or the most divine of the things in us." This state was considered blessed. And a philosophy Aristotle put into activity by calling it complete happiness and human flourishing, or "eudaimonia."
Photography then, along with the serendipitous discovery of the magnificent and sublime, are critical components of my everyday, ongoing search for eudaimonia.

Mementos. When I travel or just wander, although I am taking in the whole it is the parts that create the best mementos. It is these parts I try to capture in photographs.
I was inspired years ago when I learned of the Indo-European and Latin root for memento, "to remember", and more importantly "to think" that inspires me. When I see something that triggers that sense of "this is special" I photograph a particular element such as a door, a bee, a path.
Because it is the particulate of one special aspect that possesses the depth of feeling and imagination that I felt and still feel, not just a visual record.
When I look back at these photographs I want to get lost in the feelings of the experience beyond the 2-D content of the photo. To re-experience and perhaps have new experiences of the magical atmosphere of the moment.
A magical memento that hopefully will invite those we share these with to experience something that is “uniquely special" to them. I hope these photos are windows that open for the viewers to engage with their own imagination.
I hope you like them.
