abstracts



Mixed feelings about Abstract. On the one hand I feel our obsession with it is somehow tied to self-disgust, fear of looking at ourselves in the mirror, of confronting where we are headed and how we got to this point. It is cynical, and at the same time highly manageable.

On the other hand, if used properly,as it is in many cultural traditions, it goes beyond what language can do, portrays other dimensions, spirituality and wisdom. I am humbled by these art forms and feel we desperately need to open our eyes to what they are saying and achieving.
