mpressions

These are random thoughts i recorded during my life journeys. I feel that every moment has left an mpression on my spirit. I just wanted a place to share them with my closest of loves.

Short Moments

Where is the distance

Eyes wide blinded 

My ears closed to things that I need to

Listen

Enlisting my heart into a war

I battle with no ammunition 

Just hands 

Holding my soul

Surrendering to senselessness

I think we know its reckless

But it feels pure

Lets not let the pain infect us

Causing the heart to be divided into 

Separate sections

Ignoring all of life's lessons 

And embrace the living message

of love

Kate MacDowell (USA)

Conceptual artist and ceramic sculptor Kate MacDowell explores our romantic notions towards the environment alongside the human propensity for destruction. These pieces are in part responses to environmental stressors including climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops. They also borrow from myth, art history, figures of speech and other cultural touchstones. In some pieces aspects of the human figure stand-in for ourselves and act out sometimes harrowing, sometimes humorous transformations which illustrate our current relationship with the natural world. In others, animals take on anthropomorphic qualities when they are given safety equipment to attempt to protect them from man-made environmental threats. In each case the union between man and nature is shown to be one of friction and discomfort with the disturbing implication that we too are vulnerable to being victimized by our destructive practices. “I hand sculpt each piece out of porcelain, often building a solid form and then hollowing it out. Smaller forms are built petal by petal, branch by branch and allow me the chance to get immersed in close study of the structure of a blossom or a bee. I chose porcelain for its luminous and ghostly qualities as well as its strength and ability to show fine texture. It highlights both the impermanence and fragility of natural forms in a dying ecosystem, while paradoxically, being a material that can last for thousands of years and is historically associated with high status and value. I see each piece as a captured and preserved specimen, a painstaking record of endangered natural forms and a commentary on our own culpability.”

New painting I did this morning!

[mpressions]

I already know what you believe in I watched your dreams of me as you slept We all take journeys inside our fantasies And loved in the raw as we wept I never met you in the flesh And i may never need to But our souls walk together undressed Essence is essential In identity And the names represent us A God amongst gods Being or being Do you know what I see Love is free Existing is expensive Everything is abundant The sky doesn't have a boundary The mind doesn't have a limit So illusions are real And truth is in the eye of the beholder Beauty is in the eye of the creator Touch is only an objective Matter is fact And what you feel is resonation Now our beliefs are mutual Manifesting this Avatar Rebirth of a cycle not to be comprehended But to be reality from afar

Latifa Echakhch - (b.1974, Marocco/Switzerland/France) - À chaque stencil une revolution. Papier carbone A4, colle, alcool à brûler (2013)

Latifa Echakhch was born in Khnansa, Morocco, in 1974 and grew up and studied in France, where she had moved with her family at the age of three. She currently lives and works between Paris and Martigny, Switzerland. Strongly critical of the mechanisms of power and their effects on the identity of individuals, her sculptures and installations draw on objects from everyday life and cultural symbols that she decontextualises in order to explore globalised, postcolonial societies. Her work on the contemporary world, which also includes video and photography, often contains veiled references to artists and works from art history. She has exhibited her work at numerous solo and group shows around the world. (source: Macba)
