MEDITATE

THE BLUE PEARL

THE BLUE PEARL

IN this depiction of a fantastical meditation, Having achieved an accomplished level of stillness, the mind’s eye witnesses vast spatial phenomenon that demonstrates our connectedness, even to the universe itself.  The heightened spatial awareness may appear as expressions of color, in this case, ultramarine blue with cool pinks.  As the illuminations, forms and relationships of these colors- their height, depth and breadth, expand and transform, the subject, in his transfixation, can often experience the abstractions of color and shape as representational objects- in this instance, the butterfly.  as the butterflies morph, appear, and disintegrate again in the psychic interior perception, one is forced to question ‘do they exist at all?’  In the most auspicious of occasions the brilliantly burning blue.  becomes ever increasingly focused until shining as a tiny fiery blue sphere,  THE BLUE PEARL, and is said to be the embodiment of the purest form of the attained self, bearing witness in the meditation.

WHAT LIES BETWEEN AN IDEA AND A DREAM ?

MYTH OF ER.

SUBJECT/OBJECT.

The need for the words subject and object is a long standing philosophical issue. It is concerned with the analysis of human experience, and arises from the premise that the world consists of objects (entities) which are perceived or otherwise presumed to exist as entities, by subjects (observers). This division of experience results in questions regarding how subjects relate to objects.

when we view Art objects, we take a more inclusive approach and see the object reflects within our own experiences. In this way, like in dreams, symbols, colors and shapes have both a personal and universal influence on our mind; increasing awareness and uncovering the entire nature of experiences around you as an indivisible self.

BURNISHED SILVER FOIL PRINT.

The collection ‘SILVER LIGHT’ is a searching consideration of the traditional landscape painting. The images are at once romantic and pictorial- and yet raise the question as to the nature of our perceived comfort in the traditions of the past.  Both western movements such as the period “LUMINISM”, and eastern traditions such as SHAN SHUI, are represented. As we stumble into a futuristic way of life, there is an undeniable connectedness to the purity of the natural world that is satiated by- and for many only capable of being experienced through- art. The images aspire to know the memories of the viewer, to already exist in our collective psyche. They are a precognition of our dreams and our unconscious oneness with the natural world- as a nirvana we will one day attain.

PRINTED ON a unique burnished SILVER FOIL THE highlights are rendered in gleaming luminous and reflective silver, whereas the dark tones are drawn with a matte  black ink, that as a counterpoint, absorbs light.  The uncommon print type further punctuates the hypnotic allure and touches upon the undeniable divinity, perhaps the true reason for our attachment to traditional art forms...to all things traditional.

WHERE DO WE BEGIN? WHERE DO WE GO?

LUMINARIUM.

From the latin word for light or lamp- LUMINARIUM refers to the object that generates and brings light in a space.  The sculptural manifestation of the sound wave  LUMINARIUM leads to a contemplation that all masses are made of molecules that have both frequency and vibration.  The frequency of the light wave and its interaction with another mass is what makes any object visible at all.

LUMINARIUM is not static, but appears to be in motion, moving in a direction in time, away from the unseen central axis from where it was created and has now left behind.  This constitutes time and space and is a symbol that reflects the nature of all forms we perceive.
