These Earth Installations have often been created at show-openings (vernisages). Other skills Gerry Joe Weise has used are acrylic and/or oil paint on bark, wood, metal, plastic, carpet, slate, stone, etc... as well as music, photography, video, sculpture, writing, and performance.

NEW REALITIES
by Gerry Joe Weise
"NEW REALITIES", for which these works have been based upon, are a departure from the common concerns of today. In that they are not concerned with, and go beyond the immediate surroundings of which we inhabit. The representation of symbolical forms are partially stated. In actuality, they are only impressions, as the human mind always compares to what is already familiar. These are not what they may seem to be! The symbolical ideas are assigned to act out our feelings from the subconscious, our inner selves, even though they transcend the heavens and are beyond a million light years away. Our world is not their world, yet theirs is ours. Their music and language are of a transcendental character; it could be said a priori knowledge and experience. The works therefore have no link to existing history, even though a reference in the titles may lead to imply. In this case it is likened to our Moon, which carries earthly titles upon the lunar surface, a satellite that has been in existence long before the memory of man.
