or certain more curious and disenchanted spirits, the pleasure of ugliness comes from an even more mysterious sentiment, which is a thirst for the unknown and a taste for the horrible, " wrote Charles Baudelaire. " It is this sentiment, the germ of which all of us carry inside to a greater or lesser degree, that drives certain poets into clinics and anatomy theaters, and women to public executions. " This taste for " ugliness " seems to also drive Jim Bars-ness' exploits into the absurd and horrific, the landscape of nightmares rife with physical and moral decay. Taken to excess on the artistic canvas, ugliness and the absurd have been characterized as maximalism, a modern movement in literature and the arts that celebrates richness, decoration, sensuality, luxury, and fantasy.

" These ideas lay out aspects of human behavior in mocking and irreverent scenes often filled with beastly or hybrid characters. " I try to hold myself to certain big ideas, but if something wants to go in another direction, I tend to let it go that way. " " My most recent work is about finding, or knowing, my place, " the place where " we all belong " or fit in, where we know the rules, Barsness says. This all-important " place " is in various locations: the West, Bozeman, Montana, …
