To Know the Dark

by Wendell Berry

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

“We are living in a culture entirely hypnotized by the illusion of time, in which the so-called present moment is felt as nothing but an infinitesimal hairline between an all-powerfully causative past and an absorbingly important future. We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality. We confuse the world as talked about, described, and measured with the world which actually is. We are sick with a fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.”

— Alan Watts

Harvest, 2009

~ I thought this was one of the most powerful works in the Sakahan exhibition.

Harvest is about the damage European settlers caused to the Muhheakantuck River (now called the Hudson River), including the extermination of its beaver population. The porcelain waterlilies, the beaver’s favourite food, are inscribed with the names of indigenous bands that inhabited the area around the river. The coyote, while standing in for the destructive force, also functions as a symbol of indigenous resistance as it is under constant attack by humans yet manages to thrive regardless.

Everyone, I am so happy to see Adriana Varejão in my dash??

She is a brazilian sculptor and artist who is probably one of the best creators of gore in formal art I've ever seen. Here's some more of her work.

She loves exploring portuguese tiling, and her work includes eras that are solely focused on tiles.

She has also went through phases where she explored cracks in ink and in tiling

And of course that evolved into bloody cracks and slashes on tiles, like the walls are living beings

Which then became her iconic meat walls, but I also love her pool paintings, it's a completely different kind of unsettling more akin to liminal spaces

I can't add more images because tumblr sucks but ADRIANA VAREJÃO. Pride of my fucking country I tell you

haters will see you rotating the perfect sphere, yet not visually perceive the rotation due to said sphere’s lack of imperfections, and say you cant rotate a sphere
