That which is form, is precisely formless. That which is formless, is precisely form. But in the end, is form form, and formless formless? #art #Turner #love #death #reformation #form #formlessness #objectification #space #shadows #gaps #ChineseMedicine #acupuncture #Qi #map #territory #terrain #tangibility #sense #spirit Thought Id Nourish the spirit after my acupuncture. The stuffiness that is the art world has never enticed me. Theres something about the over-objectification of art?!? A great moment when a young man starts criticising older artist of another generation, arse-kissing Will Turner, where he goes to town on him, then ask him a question about pies - done like a true Zen master 😉 Good on him for making his work accessible to all, and not selling out in spite of the money being offered - here, here! What is it we perceive about life, the concept and our sensory-perception of it? There are those that insist on a world that must be defined as a solid inanimate object, with boundaries, definition, categorisation, safety, conformity, norms etc etc. There are those who have the foresight for the blurred, the boundlessness, the integration, the interconnectedness, the blend, beyond convention etc etc. Ive learnt much in seeing the spaces, the dark gaps in and around an object. Drawing an eye is no longer about defining an eye, but appreciating the shadows and groves that add depth to the moment. One day, someone dear to us is gonna part from us and this world: - do we look back with tears or sadness? - or live on, treasuring a privilege shared life? Another hammering acu session, although definitely easing off. Ive forgotten to mention, I do receive some deep Qi-work/calming massage in between to allow me to recoup. Boy, did I nod off deeply - felt like an eternity! Chinese Medicine: - knowing the difference between instructing someone how to take the tube to Clapham: anyone can study it! A patient not as a map - a one size fits all! - and someone whos taken the journeys many times: different transportation, remember whats along the pathway, the senses of it etc etc. In understanding the difference of each individual, their constitution - not as a diagnosis and fixing a preconceived prescription of treatment etc etc! To understand our artistry on the terrain. Qi: - the un-discussed topic, - and yet, the whole philosophical principle behind this medicine is based upon, - how does one understand the tangibility of it? - do we sense it; do we have spirit?
