this image says it all. a flurry of marks, darting and flying.this connection to you all feels so right & adds a new rhythm to my days but i just couldn't believe that it was thursday already and time to post.
"painting, (says francois cheng in "empty and full") which is thought in action,
thus became one of the highest expressions of chinese spirituality."
thought in action...... hmmm. do you agree?
i pick up this book a lot and read a little, and i have done this for years and years, and yet i have never really read the whole. i think that mostly i just love the title. and also the names of the dynasties--the t'ang, the five dynasties, the sung, the yuan, the ming, the ch'ing.

Harnessing thought, and heart and emotion, for that matter, have to be some form of tangible spirituality...gesture, line, shape, color, all creating negative and positive spaces that respond to one another, providing a space to interact ourselves with the empty and full, as the title says. how in the world do we get used to the continual see-saw of empty and full, i just don't know. i love the color and space division and steff evidence in the mark making. just lovely, steff...
