Sukhothai, the emergence of happiness

from I am OPTimist · host Monika Bravo

"And on each of its circles was seated a Siren on the upper side, carried round, and uttering a single sound on one pitch. But the whole of them, being eight, compassed a single harmony within the seven intervals."-Plato Book X, "Republic"State of beinghey, here I am again, another week, and I am still observing the view, not really wanting to dive in back yet. I will share however that I am in a joyous state of being, somehow powerful insights coming from new territories that are gracefully emerging. I would love to tell more, but all I have are shapes, colors, sensations, and insights that connect to the core of my essence, these are felt playfully and have a component of transparency, perhaps some images below such as the five elements of Sugimoto can give a clue, or Dominique Teufen’s multiple projected fields that merge the perspective into one angle that can transport the mind elsewhere.Before the light there was sound, which I heard clearly in one of my dreams, in fact, light and sound are different parts of a spectrum. Sound travels much slower than light and it is produced by mechanical means. Sound does not have the electrical and magnetic fields that visible light does. Sound and light both have a wavelike character but are very different in speed and size covering a range of wavelengths, light is not restricted to a single wavelength. An artist and educator I feel very connected with is Josef Albers, his practices on color and form are not just playful but beautifully engaging and have served as methodologies in previous and current public art commissioned work.Under Suprematism I understand the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art. To the Suprematist the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless; the significant thing is feeling, as such, quite apart from the environment in which it is called forth.The so called “materialization” of a feeling in the conscious mind really means a materialization of the reflection of that feeling through the medium of some realistic conception. Such a realistic conception is without value in Suprematist art… And not only in Suprematist art but in art generally, because the enduring, true value of a work of art (to whatever school it may belong) resides solely in the feeling expressed.[…] Objectivity, in itself, is meaningless to him; the concepts of the conscious mind are worthless.Feeling is the determining factor… and thus art arrives at non objective representation at Suprematism.It reaches a “desert” in which nothing can be perceived but feeling.[…]This was no “empty square” which I had exhibited but rather the feeling of non-objectivity.I realized that the “thing” and the “concept” were substituted for feeling and understood the falsity of the world of will and idea.Kazimir Malevich: The Manifesto of Suprematism. Originally published in The Non-Objective WorldTranslated from Russian into German by A. von Riesen 1927 | Albert Langen | Munichvol. 11 of Die Gegenstandslose WeltFrequency is everything now‘What is G•D?He is length, width, height and depth’-St. Bernard of Clairvaux, on considerationI have spent a great amount of time drawing for an upcoming commission, mostly vectorizing geometrical forms and preparing canvases of color for an upcoming glass wall. Immersed in these fields, my mind rests, my hand moves and my spirit elevates. The nodes meet in circles, creating aspects and angles, depicting movement in time. Magnitude represents amplitude while meaning is given depending on how one reads these relationships. Until then I come out of this gracious state, linear thoughts may remain abstract, cryptic, and still.Stillness“Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.”―Jorge Luis Borges A la prochaine!
