S14 E10: Dreamscapes with visual artist Chalom
from Makers & Mystics Hosted by Stephen Roach
Melbourne-based visual artist and electronic musician Mike Lane creates under the name Chalom, a name spoken to him in a dream. His practice consists of visually expressing dreams and meditations, with mostly found materials, embedded bible pages, penciled notes, and spray paint. Beyond the haphazard backgrounds of his paintings, brushes or tools are rarely used in the making, just hands and fingers employing scrawly texts, scribbles, and vaguely figurative forms. CHALOM’s prolific work is a deeply spiritual practice, and he loves to write blessings and prophecies hidden under the paintings for the viewer to experience as mysteries and positive, energetic flow intended to shift the atmosphere in the spaces where the works are hung. In this episode, Chalom talks with Stephen Roach about his creative process and the deeply-felt spiritual underpinnings behind his visual art. Topics: Dreams and Visions, Abstract Art, Risk in Art, Surprise in Art, Experiencing the Now Name Drops: Ludwig Von Zinzendorf, Henri Nouwen, Rivertribe Resources: Become a Patron!
