Horizon Gate: June 2012
http://horizongate.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 2, 2012. 1 Year Since We Moved from Julian. Donna and Mark Turner - Horizon Gate Founders. Unbelievably, this month we will celebrate our one-year anniversary of moving from Julian to the city. I say "celebrate" not because we will be partying. However, the qualities remembered by our sense of loss, including the solitude, quiet, beauty and peace of living in the forest; the space of the property; the friends and small town community - all of that and more are still woven into us. If you h...

Horizon Gate: Our Christmas Story
http://horizongate.blogspot.com/2012/12/our-christmas-story.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. God is saving people. Through our art and films. As the shepherds labored . . . People have been working harder and resting less; under pressure with little time to stop and. God's gifts. It makes our souls grow colder; barriers to God solidify, causing more trouble in the world. As the shepherds' attention was arrested . . .

Horizon Gate: Horizon Gate Moves to New Workspace
http://horizongate.blogspot.com/2013/02/horizon-gate-moves-to-new-workspace.html
Tuesday, February 5, 2013. Horizon Gate Moves to New Workspace. The left side of our homebase is the dining room. Mark's office opens to the inner courtyard right of center. On a clear day (almost always) we can see the ocean and Los Coronados Islands. We have just moved to a more natural setting in La Mesa (San Diego east county) with the solitude and space required to do our best work: space for recording, crafts, art making, two offices, and room for small events. The place is high enough to see t...

Horizon Gate: October 2011
http://horizongate.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. Art Capsulizes Truth Like Seeds. Art is the capsulizing of multileveled Truth like seeds we hope will open in good soil, grow and bear more seeds. In Matthew 13 Jesus talks about seeds: good and bad; of soils: prepared and unprepared. Why does he speak in parables covering up "the facts" with metaphor? Because so many close their eyes and hearts to guard against intrusion, fearing that God (or someone) might enter and do damage rather than heal. Artists need to believe that God ...

Horizon Gate: October 2012
http://horizongate.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2012. Art: Like Making and Planting Seeds. Artists, remember: Seeds sprout and fill the world. There is a tension in the life of the artist between creating works of art and attracting an audience to the works. Both occupations require long hours and labor. When They Don't Look. Often an artist has worked hard to create works and attract people to them with little response. When that seems to be happening we have taken hope in Jesus' words,. In this society which pressures artists ...

Horizon Gate: Membership & Collaboration Build Community
http://horizongate.blogspot.com/2012/10/membership-collaboration-build-community.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2012. Membership and Collaboration Build Community. Two needs which our life as artists and writers juggle are solitude. The necessities of needing to get away and concentrate, and then for the community to view and buy our works, is the practical level for many art forms. Artists who work in the collaborative arts like theater, dance, and music ensembles know the satisfaction of making something as a community. But the intangible level. Mark R. Turner. Mark R. Turner. The reason w...
