BLUE LOTUS LAKE:
LOSING THE ILLUSION OF SEPARATNESS
Art Access,
Salt Lake City – 2001
The Installation is a return to the beginning work, FIVE REALITIES. It Is the place where dualities come together. While the first exhibit took a Zen approach, this exhibit will reflect my journey into Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism. While the 1996 exhibit examined the dilemma of being imprisoned in this reality, while understanding its transitory nature, Blue Lotus Lake engages a more realized view of the duality of this existence. Blue Lotus Lake is the alliteration of Shakti and Shiva and their eternal dance bringing being and non-being together. It is colorful and graphic, using a series of icons, which make up a lexicon of sacred truths.
