BALANCE – STANDING FIGURE – Mixed Media – 12.5″ High
(Photographed with Buddha)
SOME MORNINGS
Some mornings I awaken,
half awaken,
to shadows on the wall,
to half seen silhouettes,
or to the morning music
of sunlight through blinds.
There is a word
for that golden time
on the threshold of consciousness,
Hypnagogia,
and a lot of science
explaining why.
I am inspired
by shadows on the wall
half seen silhouettes
or the morning music
of sunlight through blinds.

A few weeks back, at the end of a dream I was dreaming, a voice from nowhere in particular said: “I am that which sees what is seen.”
What is that which sees what is seen?
Our brain (whatever that is) “seeing” signals converted by our retinas?
Atman, our luminous, eternal self?
Must one preclude the other?
I’m bored with the argument.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” – Albert Einstein “The Saturday Evening Post” interview, 1929.
I dig science. And Maya and the Dreamtime too. I think a lot about my creative goals and what I want to say. And, also, at times, I make art out of shadows on the wall, half seen silhouettes, or the morning music of sunlight passing through the blinds.
I’m just reentering my own creative life after a very satisfying month spent art directing a feature film on the East Coast.
Thanks for looking in! – Kev

I don’t often read blog posts but when I do I read yours 😃.
“Balance” is quite cool and plays well weighing over Buddha.

Thank you Keven, For me, it is very informative to read your blog. I have heard terms such as Dreamtime before, yet I never knew its meaning until I looked it up tonight. OK, I just found Artlandish and I see how you could be drawn to the aboriginal art. It’s fantastic! I would be surprised if you didn’t know the site, but I included the URL anyway. https://www.aboriginal-art-australia.com/aboriginal-art-library/
