Churning The Cerebral

Video projection of performance on a wall sized drawing with sumi ink, pastels, acrylic, tempera and charcoal

Moved by my experience at buddhist monastery in S. Korea, I wanted to capture what it feels like to try and meditate. The sound was recorded during morning gong call to prayer. The purpose of any sound whether it is the breath or the bell or the gong is to try and recenter and refocus. Using a time displacement filter on the video helped me express the sound reverb that is experienced in the mind. This work is very much about the mental landscape in the act of meditation.
