Luminous Bodies: Circles of CelebrarionsVolume II, Number 2【電子書籍】[ Melinda Camber Porter ]

＜p＞＜em＞Luminous Bodies＜/em＞ is a work of celebration and mourning in two volumes of 45 watercolors in each volume. These images explore the spiritual and cultural forces that continuously vie to originate and then heal the rift between the body and the soul.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peter Trippi, editor of ＜em＞Fine Art Connoisseur＜/em＞ magazine states, ＜em＞“In an art market crowded with hollow protestations of “self-identity,” Melinda Camber Porter’s works offer us a new cosmology and an authentic vision of our age.**”＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Inspired by many religious traditions of celebrations and mourning, from The Tibetan Book of the Dead to Native American mourning rituals, the series of drawings is, in actuality, a spiritual journey begun by Melinda Camber Porter a few days after the death of a loved one. The journey is narrated in drawings and in epigrammatic prose poetry inscribed within each watercolor. There is a strong "documentary" aspect to the work, which attempts to record faithfully the actual process of loss and resurrection of the lover in celebration and mourning.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But whereas in much Judeo-Christian philosophy the body is seen as the weak vehicle, the Achilles heel that catapults man into sin, ＜em＞Luminous Bodies＜/em＞ proposes a world view that gives back to the body its sacrosanct nature. Human ecstasy, when body and soul unite, is the experience which is perpetually recollected and meditated upon and that serves as the pivotal visual perspective. From this vantage point a philosophical viewpoint of existence is etched, both visually [the watercolors] and in poetry [the text inscriptions].＜/p＞ ＜p＞The first volume is ＜em＞Luminous Bodies: Circles of Celebration.＜/em＞ The second volume is ＜em＞Luminous Bodies: Circles of Mourning＜/em＞.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
