Judith Ann Braun’s ongoing interest in the exploration of abstraction in her work has taken on new meaning since 2003 when she started working within a set of rules she invented and refers to as “Symmetrical Procedures.” Braun constrains herself to work within these rules which include abstraction and bilateral symmetry. Her body of work entitledFingerings are drawing that consist of marks made with her graphite covered fingers rather than a conventional brush or other artist’s tool. Many times she works ambidextrously using both her right and left hands to make marks simultaneously. The resulting effect of her unique method is an expressive mark making that beautifully demonstrates the immediacy of gesture.

I don’t understand why when we destroy something created by man we call it vandalism, but when we destroy something created by nature we call it progress.

So I would say that awakening is the recognition that there are many planes of consciousness and that you exist on all of them. You are limiting yourself incredibly to define yourself only in terms of the physical/psychological planes, as if they were absolutely real. So it’s an awakening into the relative reality of the world you thought was absolutely real. It’s awakening to realize that you’re in a prison you’ve created by your own thoughts—that your conceptual definitions of reality are imprisoning you from what reality is, which is something that has no concept. You’ve reduced yourself into a shadow of who you are, in a reductionistic way, through clinging to concepts, instead of understanding that the true nature of being is not knowing you know, it’s simply being.
We got trapped in separateness. When we awaken we realize there’s a spiritual dimension to life, that there is a wisdom that lies within the mystery that surrounds life. The answer is that there is something else going on, and realizing this is awakening.

This internal explosion would cause a great amount of attention towards myself.. if I were to ever really channel this energy. Isn’t it funny how we pay most attention to those who transcend the “every day norm?” When we look back to a certain time or day, we don’t think to ourselves “Gosh that one really well mannered and quiet guy was so average and memorable” - it’s the more explosive occurrences that stand out in our minds. We think back to those who were loud, upset, or whatever. Pouring out a lot of energy, causing attention to themselves. This is one reason why I am selective with who I let see behind the curtain of my every day personality. And even then, it feels a chore to communicate soundly.
Honestly, simple words and this ” L A N G U A G E “ is a flimsy half-ass method of truly connecting with one another. But is that the point? With so many different aspects, levels, and plain THINGS that life consists of.. maybe one of the most sarcastic life challenges is to reconnect all of the dots that have somehow found themselves labeled as “separate.” And this involves using a multitude of tools and mediums. “There was never meant to be only one.”
Like our journey in life, like creating art: there are endless possibilities for going through such processes. There is no real journey if our path has been laid out for us. If getting to where we need to be was as easy as reading a sign or a book.. where would the fun of it be?

Back in January we posted about an awesome installation by Korean artist Do Ho Suh, entitled Floor, in which glass plates rested on the uplifted hands of thousands of tiny figures enabling visitors to walking upon them. We’re very excited to share another awesome creation by the same artist:
“This giant tornado of piggybacked men is an installation by Korean artist Do Ho Suh that is currently on display at Western Washington University (photographs above depict it in alternate configurations). Via Western:
“‘Cause & Effect’ evokes a vicious tornado. This vast ceiling installation is a composition of densely hung strands that anchor thousands of figures clad in colors resembling a Doppler reading stacked atop one another,” said Do Ho Suh, adding that the artwork is a “physical realization of existence, suggesting strength in the presence of numerous individuals. The work is an attempt to decipher the boundaries between a single identity and a larger group, and how the two conditions coexist.”
Suh has been all over the news lately with his recent Fallen Star Lands installation in San Diego, and his Floor piece in Singapore similarly depicting the might of many thousands of tiny men. See many more views of this piece and other works here.”

Your deepest roots are in nature. No matter who you are, where you live, or what kind of life you lead, you remain irrevocably linked with the rest of creation.

Creation is only the projection into form of that which already exists. Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable. There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes. Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed. There is nothing lost or wasted in this life. Consciousness is eternal it is not vanquished with the destruction of the temporary body.
— Bhagavad Gita (via ancientrites)
