The fiery Brit spent time working with relief organizations in both India and Africa before relocating to America where she found true love in the form of a an Ohioan congressman. As she braved the campaign trail with Dennis this year, she made a stop in Traverse City for a Q & A with the locals. ]]> http://www.thirdeyemag.com/interviews/elizabeth-kucinich/feed/ 1 http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/photography/alternate-realities/ http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/photography/alternate-realities/#comments Mon, 14 Jan 2008 01:30:12 +0000 Jason Glover http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/photography/alternate-realities/ Sculptor, installation artist, and photographer Margaret Inga is in the practice of documenting alternate realities. Growing up in North Carolina, she was exposed to a myriad of untouched landscapes that felt strangely unsettling and almost unreal – a feeling she’s still trying to catch with her installation-based photography. ]]> http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/photography/alternate-realities/feed/ 0 http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/artwork/fun-with-flesh/ http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/artwork/fun-with-flesh/#comments Fri, 16 Nov 2007 02:28:21 +0000 Jason Glover http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/artwork/fun-with-flesh/ Welcome to the twisted world that exists within the mind of Stephen Somers – a place where more than one amalgamation of distorted flesh goes bump in the night. A Milwaukee native and graduate of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, Somers uses his acrylic paintings as a therapeutic means to exorcise disturbing states of mind.

She knew instantly that it was her passion and applied for the Photographic Imaging Program at the community college in Lansing, MI. Since graduating, she’s done her share of traveling, shooting photos, and creating fine art. “My more recent work is very intuitive,” says Lipscomb. “I am trying to communicate emotion and describe the mental environment.”]]> http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/photography/mental-landscapes/feed/ 0 http://www.thirdeyemag.com/opinion/do-you-believe-in-magic/ http://www.thirdeyemag.com/opinion/do-you-believe-in-magic/#comments Fri, 02 Nov 2007 18:40:16 +0000 Jason Glover http://www.thirdeyemag.com/wordpress/2007/11/02/do-you-believe-in-magic/ My memories are all artificial. Pre-packaged marketing tools designed to foster brand identity or sell toys. A twisted commercial entourage of ‘80s icons. Thundercats, TMNT, Transformers, Gumby, Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, Smurfs, Care Bears, Popples. X-men comics. The Olsen twins. That impatient owl licking to the center of Tootsie Roll Pops. Me begging to stop at McDonald's and get a Happy Meal. Or even better, to go inside and play in the ball pit. These are the chronicles of my perfect upbringing. I am a walking, talking fulfillment of the American Dream.

Unfortunately, the same can not be said about the 40-50% of Americans who, despite a near unanimous consensus among scientists, refuse to accept the theory of evolution. Ever since Darwin published The Origin of the Species in 1859, the idea of common descent has been hard for many religious individuals to swallow. The refusal to accept anything as truth that contradicts the Biblical account of creation has resulted in a massive war of misinformation waged by anti-evolutionists in our courts, schools, and places of worship.[…]]]> http://www.thirdeyemag.com/nonfiction/confronting-creationism/feed/ 1 http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/artwork/that-tickles/ http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/artwork/that-tickles/#comments Tue, 04 Sep 2007 04:29:57 +0000 Jason Glover http://www.thirdeyemag.com/wordpress/2007/09/03/that-tickles/ A graduate of the College for Creative studies in Detroit, MI, Dave Chung enjoys using his artwork as an avenue to express those aspects of life that are meant to remain private.

We don’t really know what folks are describing when they use words like God or Allah or Oneness. None of us can be absolutely sure if the beliefs entire afterlives are gambled on are the least bit valid. And even assuming the unlikely scenario that one of the world’s religions is right about everything it purports, what are the odds that you’re lucky enough to be counted among its adherents? Certainly not very high, considering the number of possible choices. Why then are most of us so sure about things we can’t possibly be sure about?

He channeled his frustration into generating thousands of anti-war graphics. His free posters have been circulated internationally and have been included in various showings of anti-war artwork – they are soon to be featured in the worldwide “Propaganda III Tour.” [...]]]> http://www.thirdeyemag.com/gallery/artwork/spin-machine/feed/ 0
