Testimonials

“j. Madison Rink's visionary work is animistic in the sense that it captures the soul of natural objects, always there but not easy for the uninitiated to see. In this way she is like a shaman; through her exotic art, she helps guide our eye to see the magic that surrounds us, the spirit in all things.”

Thomas Murray, Independent researcher, collector, lecturer, private tribal and Asian art dealer, curator, past President of ATADA, member of President Obama’s Cultural Property Advisory Committee at the State Department.

"j. Madison Rink reflects an extremely fertile mind in the finding of these geological features and portraits that resemble other things, particularly those that relate to human feelings. With her permission, two of her fine examples "Between Worlds" and "...existential sleep" have spots on my "Mimetoliths" website. Our world would be well served if she would extend her fine imagination and her photographic recording of these kinds of phenomena to include examples that occur in more and more parts of our country, in fact in our world. Imagination of the kind she has and the way she expresses it is a gift that this world needs to nurture and cherish."

R.V. Dietrich, Professor Emeritus “Pre-Cambrian Geologist” Author of Stones; coauthor of Gems, Gravels and Granites. "

"These exquisite photographs by j. Madison Rink are the ultimate in "objets trouves" - but they gain immeasurably from not being taken from their context and reinvented as "art" but left in the setting where they were found, thus remaining part of nature which created them. It is this undisturbed feature that makes them so moving: it is nature speaking to us through the artist's discovery, not the artist improving on nature. I don't think this aspect has been well discussed in the past but Madison's forcefully beautiful photographs force us to consider it. The features only have meaning for us because of what we see in them of course, but they are unquestionably "there" - we did not invent them but, through her artistry, discovered them. Perhaps this is the secret of a lot of "tribal" art. It is cooperating with nature rather than imposing itself upon it. I don't know; aesthetics is not my strong point. But I do know that in these "primitive" images I see something profoundly moving and appreciate (and envy) the skill of the artist, who "finds" these concrete meanings and reveals them to us."

Robin Fox, Anthropologist, Founder of Anthropology Dept. at Rutgers University, Sociologiest and Author of numerous books, including one of his latest "The Tribal Imagination."

"j. Madison Rink's work in fine art photography is a very sensitive and unique approach to nature. Surprisingly, what she describes in her photos is relatively common yet has been an unnoticed phenomenon throughout human history; it was the way in which signals of nature were read in the past, and also a reason for the sacralization of certain landscapes, by means of the presence of a Mimetolith. The experience that she describes is very interesting for me, as it is consistent with the results of our research in archaeological sites around the globe. We have created a method, the PAH Triad, which can add a stronger ground for her work: PAH Triad (psychological phenomenon): Pareidolia- Apophenia - Hierophany working simultaneously, is changeable among diverse individuals. The PAH triad is part of the unconscious mechanisms inherent to every human being, present in the primary stages of the early development of the human conscience. Her work strengthens the concepts of landscape archaeology. What she describes in her work is right at the core of the origins of animism, religion and art."
