Left Brain ArtistsAt this year’s Brain Art in Montreal, the Art in Mind studio is exhibiting ‘All in One’ installation. You can learn about the theme of the exhibition and concepts embodied in this multilayered installation at the ‘All in One’ project webpage, as well as in the ‘All in One’ brochure/booklet. ‘All in One’ Bellow is […]
Mind filler story Imprints impressed in our core come from an ancient past, origins of the species, as well as from more recent and vivid, ethnic and cultural histories. What is it about this elusive memory of the collective past, ancient or historical, imprinted in our brains and reflexes that define us individually? Why is […]
Mind-filler story I came to experience a period of flirting with sexual ‘fluidity’ in my teenage years, sneaking out of control, parental and educational, to watch (then highly controversial) ‘Emmanuelle‘. Although I was firmly ‘she’, I did not shy away from experimenting kisses with girls or dressing in ‘man’s’ clothes. It was definitely an experimental, […]
Mind filler story I have a friend who is losing her faculties to Alzheimer’s, slowly but visibly – each time we meet, a distance of a few months, an inevitability of her decline sets in, sadly; she is fading away… Fading away…recent memories thinning out, clinging to the past, emotions flat or irritated, pinning time […]
Mind filler story ‘Observers’ are moral authorities that channel or control our behavior, freedom of thought, and actions. They carry a carrot of belonging (to a beleif structure) and a stick of reprimand. They guide us and limit us, our freedoms. Observers could morph into an image of a strict father, religious leader, authoritarian philosophy, […]
Mind filler story The series ‘Identity’ illustrates a search for one’s recognizable identity, personal, ethnic, and racial. The search is arduous, looking into mirrors and fighting blind spots. The path is uncertain and convoluted. Could you define your own identity in a sentence or two – with clarity and precision? Perhaps words are not sufficient…are […]
Mind filler story Where are we marching towards – as individuals and society? What awaits us at the end of the path we travel, intentionally or accidentally, the path so difficult to divert from? The question is both existential and philosophical. We all carry the burden of that path, as well as its joys. Do […]
Clay sculpture We built the brain out of an air drying clay – nascent, empty of experience or emotion, devoid of identity and past – hollow in its emptiness. Neurophysiologically and philosophically – it is doubtful that the brain is ever ’empty’ of experience. But this is the start of its life and evolution – […]
Mixed media art One of our fellow studio artists, speaking of her art process, said once: ‘..I start by splashing some inks onto the paper to see what happens…’ ..and then, a background, a serendipity, inspires the rest… How many incredible artworks have emerged from a splashed-on backgrounds? A foundation, beginning, an insinuation, a subtle […]
Sculptures, garden, prints Summer is sneaking in shyly, garden awakening, busy with critters and birds, blooms emerging. Yet, few ‘inhabitants’ of my garden remain sleepy in their dreaming reverie amongst chirping, breezes, and fragrances of nature. These are my garden sculptures that I sprinkled around over time; now an integral fabric of the garden. Several […]
