Ida & Pingala

What started as an exploration of the Ida and Pingala Nadis (passages in the left and right nostrils for Prana or life force to reach the chakras), became the capturing of a beautiful and intriguing woman.  Orchids, an ambiguous portrait, line, the natural settling of oil paint and color give way to express both the movement of life energy as well as the light and dark elements of a friend.  The choice of flowers and a portrait in the painting attempt to put the onlooker in tune with vital force of life involved within the nostrils.  More attention to the idea of breath was involved with leaving white negative space and bare canvas showing (often something I struggle to achieve).  The hand connects the piece to both the delicacy and fragility of life as well recipient of the painting, while the hair, roots and leaves resemble the power and strength.  As in many of my works it was a process of seeking balance, message and aesthetic satisfaction.

    Sublimation is taking an experience, impulse, or desire from the inside and expressing it externally.  This process is not complete until it is seen or heard.  Here, I desire the pulse that allows art to fully exist.  The conversation.
