REPETITION IS SPIRITUAL:
Repeating the Form
Exhibit October 24, 2006 - Phillips Gallery, Salt Lake City, Utah
IDEA = FORM
Life is recognizing patterns and naming them. Once we have the objects named, we start making memories through stories, adding emotions and opinions to everything we experience. The result is an identity that we carry with us and reinforce every moment. We start to believe that we are the identity.
Life is both the repetition of events and the compilation of memories, but life is ultimately - the moment - with no past and no future. It is when we momentarily experience the whole consciousness of all things that we see ourselves, not as separate lives, but a continuous consciousness.
My work involves an ongoing question that I ask myself. If I change my consciousness, in my own time and space, does that effect the larger consciousness? Consciousness is pattern. So all I have to do to effect change is alter my own pattern.
