Guardian of the Threshold
I took a bit of time off from creating things, went to the swap meets stocking up on materials for future artworks and compiling images for upcoming use. This is my first artwork for the year and i'm stoked on the result. I titled the artwork: Guardian of the Threshold, refering to our worlds ideas of duality and the resulting illusions caused by our concepts of duality and our desire to achieve a balance in this world between positive and negative, light and dark, male and female, good and evil.
I like using the grid as a template and references to maps with lines, dots, alphabetic and numeric codes as a loose allusion to an inner geography.
I'm using this handmade paper 29" X 20" that is translucent and has a oily mottled texture to it. The paper enabled me to layer imagery from collage, my drawings watercolor, gesso and gold leaf and resulted in some neat effects. I used graphite pencils, watercolors, gold leaf and collage in this piece. I'm still trying to decide if its completed or not.

Mandala of Compassion Tibetan
We went to the Hammer museum at UCLA to check out the sand mandala that four highly respected Tibetan monks created over a two week period. When we arrived the monks were in the middle of a Puja which is a ritual of prayer and meditation offered in this case for compassion for all beings in the presence of the elaborate sand mandala they created with different colored sands. The room was rather small and quiet except for the chanting monks. I was in awe as would anyone who views this mandala up close at the details, colors and design. The murmur of prayer of the monks and the splendid devotional mandala helped me feel connected to their petition for compassion in the world. When they complete the mandala, after the two weeks, the sand painting is carefully brushed into containers, a symbolic gesture of impermanence. The day we visited was the final day and the monks were going to disperse the collected sands of the mandala in the ocean and offer it as a blessing. We didn't join some of the participants/viewers at the beach but I left the Hammer with a sense of respect and awareness of one important goal we as humans should strive for.
