No Spectators, Art of Burning Man, Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Museum

"You are encouraged to fully participate. It’s all about being there, being fully present, and not just observing. Two of the ten principles of Burning Man are radical participation and radical inclusivity, meaning that there are no outsiders. Everyone is part of the experience.” – Nora Atkinson, Lloyd Herman Curator of Craft

Traveling Inside Favorite Lavender Essence Shampoo Bottle

Thrills me to see purple bubbles inside my almost empty purple bottle, if I shake it. Shooting into the sun creates a tiny world of magenta color and weirdness for me to explore through a very narrow passageway.

Strange & Beautiful

Conch

I found decades ago in Miami Beach's Atlantic Ocean.

For some strange reason, when I photographed this conch, I thought about a baby at birth crowning its head, and also about elders, and being crowned with wisdom.

This felt like a birthing conch to me. It sits on my redwood picnic table.

MY SISTER shoots LACMA strings: "Penetrable"

"In the 1950s and 1960s, several Latin American artists settled in Paris, where they became key players in the movement of kinetic and op art. One such artist was the Venezuelan Jesús Rafael Soto, whose projects directly engaged the viewers’ participation. This is the case of Penetrable, 1990, a long-term loan from the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, installed on LACMA’s plaza.

When viewers walk through the dense curtain of plastic tubes, they disappear into them and become part of the work. Soto was profoundly interested in the dematerializing effect of light, which he sought to recreate through such works. In the artist’s words “[the] man is no longer here and the world there, he is inside the fullness and it’s this fullness that I want to make people feel.”

Although Soto’s work is conceived as a geometric sculpture, it lacks a solid surface or plane; its shape is easily altered by human contact, or even natural elements such as wind and rain. In other words, it is a work in constant flux. This playful and profoundly sensorial aspect of Soto’s Penetrable has made it one of the most popular works in the museum—an object that invites the viewer to become one with the work of art."

Painted Path Stream

River of Light ~ Gan Eden

"There is a River whose streams make glad the City of G*d". -Psalm 46:4

This painting I did over 2012 photo from Rain Forest in Costa Rica is IN PROCESS.
II feel like the Light has been poured out.

Painted on my birthday today, and not yet finished: A new digital technique for me.

I needed to do less 'Hallmark looking' perfect precision patience needed style (which I felt proud of having diligently done the 'tool' techniques), and needed to explore freely without errors being judged by myself.
Even my friends noticed in the 'Hallmark' style cards, the lack in my style of "Joyness".

Learning, I understand, needs a foundation, just like a clay pot on the spinning wheel needs centering first, before altering in discovery and joy.
