JOY: A group exhibition on joy.
Artist Statement:
I find joy in seeking to experience life as it is in the moment (raw as it might be), without dualistic and discursive thought, concepts or ego.
Of course, I mostly fail!
And despite failing, in this attempt, I reveal my felt meditative art practice, my usual repetitive lines, my love of doing stuff as it happens, as is and without correction, my appreciation of the works of others (eg. Cy Twomby, Agnes Martin and Japanese Zen art) …. and perhaps contradictorily, the things that weigh on my mind such as my abhorrence of the bombing of other people.
Joy to me is a state of being – alive, present and aware. It is more profound than any passing pleasure, although in a very moment, it can be found simply in, say, the impermanence and beauty of bubbles.
