Autobiography As Art​

This is a follow-up on Laron's thread that asks you to introduce yourself. Please use this thread as a place to express how you are feeling in an art form, which includes writing, as time passes. This is a place to have fun. You learn more about yourself when you create art, and we learn about you and your spirit.

Photo credit: This photo was created by my sister-in-law, Claudia G-B, who has a huge heart and a great sense of humor. Macho, seen in this photo, is hers, but it is hard to know who is in charge.

Photo process: In his little physical package, Macho has a rather large presence and sense of self, which led me to use him in this autobiographical art page. This was my second meme.

I think this is a great idea Krena and thanks for creating this thread.

So, how am I feeling? Should I write a quick poem, some prose, or perhaps find an image that represents me — maybe a emoji, or emoticon (same thing to me!). Perhaps something Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni created... (he was a sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance, so I have a few options to pick from)

Let's see if I can find an appropriate something.

 

[Krena]

Feeling a bit dark, if safe...Enclosed, with comfort...Ice impairing clear vision...Thinking of light melting and healing...Things naturally change.

...

Laron, I created this thread over a year ago with no response so I felt it to be a “dud.” Great that you found it. Glad you were inspired. That was my aim.

I loved how you provided a description, I should re-visit mine and do the same as it really expands on the picture I was presenting.

 

[Snowmelt]

I really relate to this country I was born in, even though I know I am more universal than that, and exoplanetary and cosmic, even.
Nevertheless, the particular, original, unique and endemic flora of this country excites me, and I identify with it. This is the flowering red gum, a tree, normally growing mid to tall, but I caught these on a young specimen, where the flowers were around shoulder height. Thus I could get up close to let you get a view of them.

Red-flowering gum (Corymbia ficifolia)

A deservedly well-known species naturally restricted to sandy, coastal, often swampy sites in the far south-western corner of Australia, the red-flowering gum is widely cultivated across southern Australia for its fiery show of blooms, which can completely hide the foliage of the tree in summer. Its large woody fruits are almost as striking.
Flowers: Jan–April

Another word I would add to your list, that I see in that detail of Michelangelo is Responsive.

Love that you identify with these stunningly beautiful flowers.

Laron, I created this thread over a year ago with no response so I felt it to be a “dud.” Great that you found it. Glad you were inspired. That was my aim.

I think that there are times when certain conditions all meet, which cause a low in... responsiveness. Astrologically, the planets can cause people to just be uninterested in doing anything, whether that is acting out, being creative, being bothered, etc. I find Wednesdays to be very slow online in terms of activity, and notice that pretty much every week — guaranteed.

I think this is a very important thread for a place like this!

This is the flowering red gum

I remember these in Australia. I think that's a very creative response, to think of a flower to represent you at this time.

 

[Snowmelt]

Just a little more on my love affair with the gum blossoms, before I have to close the computer and get on with my day.

We had a wonderful artist, a century ago, who envisioned Gum Blossom Babies, and Snugglepot and Cuddlepie (as well as many other fantastic images of native bush ephemerals). Her name was May Gibbs.

New at this: but it’s a Rothko image, light vs. dark.
I’m describing being somewhere between 3D and 5D, clear, but fuzzy as a blizzard!

I’m describing being somewhere between 3D and 5D, clear, but fuzzy as a blizzard!

I haven't heard of Rothko so I had to look him up. "...an American painter of Russian Jewish descent. Although Rothko himself refused to adhere to any art movement, he is generally identified as an abstract expressionist." Wikipedia

That image really makes me use my imagination to create what I think that could mean; layers between one dimension to another, including the frequency changes, I can see through the shades and color changes..

 

[Georgia]

Hi Laron,
Rothko, because he was simple yet complex. Many layers went into his paintings, as layers between dimensions, unseeable, but there, not visible until revealed in close approximation. Also, individual, unique; I know of no other Artist like him. Each person’s experience going from 3D to 5D, past Karma is exceptional and unknowable; we share the overall experience but it is individual to each soul. Would the multifaceted light have it any other way?
If you are ever back in Houston , there is a Rothko Chapel next to The Menil Collection, a lovely Art Gallery worth a visit. The Chapel was designed by Rothko, and it is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places in that big sprawling Texas city. I spent 2 years there, Rothko and my Tibetan Terrier, Gromit, kept me sane! 3 sweet kitties, Sam, Nekko-jinn, and Tuxedo, too.
L.,
Miss Georgia, as in the Texas style

So how am I feeling now?

What art form should I pick today?

How about a song — Ludovico Einaudi - Life


Wow, that was the first time I have seen the music video for this piece. It's rather powerful.

Rothko, because he was simple yet complex.

Thanks for the info Georgia.

I'm back on the 9th, but won't have a chance to see it then. Hopefully I can come back and stay a few days or longer there, sometime.

Just a little more on my love affair with the gum blossoms

I think my favorite of those is the second one from the left!

This flower is so unique that I instantly am drawn to it. Can you tell I am an Aquarian? Hehehe
What does it smell like???

I’ve seen some Rothko at the Houston Museum of fine arts.

You just gave me a brand new perspective. Thanks for that.

Oh! I’ve been there before! It’s amazing! You reminded me to go back! Thanks again!

Laron, that’s a beautiful song and an interesting video to accompany it. Hmm

I think this poem of mine reflects where I am at right now. (written in 2015)

Back to the real world

It was the music from whence I came —
the songs of many birds.
Their memory sat and remained with me,
while I walked out of that forest
and returned to what some may call
‘the real world’, which contained its own jungle —
but that of concrete.

My best choice in that moment
was to look back and recall the memories,
which so easily and so peacefully
held the space for me. That was nature.
That was where I wanted to exist permanently,
but with this world, with this society,
my choices were limited.

Walking barefoot through the trees
brought me down to Earth with such grounding —
those stones, those sticks and that layer of dirt.
My fingertips would brush the sides
of jagged trunks, as I stepped between them.
The feeling beneath me,
through the souls of my feet,
was all the magic that I required.

Could I sit so still for so long?
For centuries?
I would hold the memories of time,
like a vault under some prestigious bank.

I must now leave all that and move on,
back to what I continue to do in this world.
However, perhaps one day
I will return to that solitude,
whether that be in nature,
or beyond physicality.

Laron, that’s a beautiful song and an interesting video to accompany it. Hmm

Time to listen to it again!

Laron,

Feeling black and blue, yet remarkably handsome, focused, balanced and looking up?

Close enough! Feeling reborn (another level up), majestic, focused, balanced, looking up...

[Anna]

Exited about life and also very curious (so much that eyes are almost popping out) but still a lot of integrity. In general, pretty spaced out

 

[Snowmelt]

I sewed some gold discs (bling) onto the tassels I was making to finish off one of my ladies' knitting projects. The wool was camel/dun and I felt it needed lifting. She had told me it was a gift for a friend. But yesterday she had me cut the pieces off. Too much bling for her (and the scarf is for her, I found out). The glint of gold among the wool tassels reminded me we are luminous beings. But I guess bling is not for everybody.

I wonder if you're wondering what is coming up next?
