Inti-Ship-Partner-Mate is a diptych painting on parchment, a 15-year collaborative project carried out with miniaturist Cathy Weber. One side depicts the female, the other one the male, brought together in the ever-shifting dance of intimacy.We see where the female hand approaches the prickly flower bud of the male heart and visa versa, a delicate maneuver in all cases. Is not love very much like this? We all seem to be exploring the same territory every other human before us has trod, but for the very first time! No one can tell us how to do it, only how they did it. And we certainly want to avoid their mistakes! The parchment diptych is mounted so that the pair can be hung with various alignments between the halves, emphasizing different elements of the exchange, as befits the viewer's inclinations. The whole Metaphysical Maps series is based on the idea that the early explorers were trying to make sense of a new world they could not understand, and only barely make out. Thus the wild speculations, misguided placements and bizarre spellings common to all early maps. They often serve as only rough indications of the realities they refer to. Of course I take certain liberties as a male speaking of the woman's experience, but this common to all the maps. We see a wind rose and scale on each side, as well as advice from the cartographer, or an illustration of the half-mirrored partner, or such textual indications as: "One body alive in two places". "The Pryce of Love is Greef. Love deep, Risk much, Greeve well" "Most entreat to goode humor."

Born 1955 in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Tim Holmes is the first American artist ever invited to exhibit solo at the world's largest art museum, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia, where his sculptures remain on permanent exhibit. He has created sculpture for some of the world's peacemaking organizations from the United Nations to the Chinese dissident students of Tiananmen Square. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, President Jimmy Carter, President Vaclav Havel, and Coretta Scott King are among Holmes' best-known collectors. Holmes has created many international projects such as the U.N. Peace Prize for Women and other peace awards. He has worked with Archbishop Desmond Tutu in creating a monument for the international peace center on Robben Island, the gulag where President Nelson Mandela and thousands of other South Africans were imprisoned during the dark apartheid years. He's also made the sculpture intended as focus piece for Cape Town's bid for the Olympics. Though Holmes is most well known for sculpture he has worked in a variety of media from museum installations to films for creative social transformation. His award-winning series of Body Psalms films focuses on the value of the body in capitalist culture and often appears at special screenings- frequently outside art and theater settings- in the US and Europe. He's a founding member of the Montana Logging and Ballet Co., National Public Radio's "resident political satirists" during the Clinton presidency and has served on the Montana Arts Council.
