Transdisciplinary Art
"...emergence of a new discipline transcending
the boundaries of disciplinary perspective...
It can be considered as the culmination of interdisciplinary efforts...
[that] has a wholism associated with it."
What is Transdisciplinary?
Jaya Ramchandani
"the
transdisciplinary artist blends all the pieces of knowledge and skill together
and
creates art that we cannot define through the canons
that
specify genres as we know them.
Art that goes beyond genre does not reveal the elements
from which it is made,
and
it is manifested as a homogeneous entity that exists independently;
it
goes across many disciplines, in order to reach a final destination."
What Does the Term
InterdisciplinaryArtist Imply?
Patina Lee for Widewalls
Transdisciplinary Art is the synthesization
of multiple disciplines

Automediality is a key component of my artistic practice.
Automediality is a form of autobiography through media,
in real time, shaped by the media outlets utilized
this journal is one of my media outlets
please see the Automediality & Me page for more information
thank you for following along with me on my journey
The Dragon Moon (Covid-19 2020) One of the Galaxy Goddesses
Moon Dragon: the moon dragon tattoo design is a unique symbol that embodies the relationship between nature and the sub-conscious. The moon, which influences ocean tides, represents ebb and flow, and the dragon symbolizes primal forces of nature
How to Tell Us Apart (Covid-19 2020)
for Welcome to My Homepage Residency
Have
been seeing photos of mask wearers from 1918, and found out that the
Spanish Flu came back with a vengeance the 2nd time around. So I'm
really obsessed with masks right now. These are Sinhalese masks from the
Museum of Anthropology in Canada. http://collection-online.moa.

It's so cliché,
but all I can think about when I hear someone say
"hopelessly devoted"
is Olivia Newton-John in her saccharine sweet sweater set,
her breathy voice dripping with self-pity
When what I really want is to see her belting out
"You're the One that I Want",
stalking like a panther towards John Travolta
in her black, water tight suction suit
In truth, hopelessly modifying devoted
is just despair
disguised as a rose
Here is a fun activity for today!
an AI generated dictionary of words that don't exist
(fake news!)
The site is called
This Word Does Not Exist
to see more words, just refresh the page
you can also write your own word
you can see the link above
it doesn't show up on every page, so just refresh until you see it
here is my word: self-voyeur
I made up the word for one of my installations
note that this definition states:
2. a word that probably exists (as I said, it doesn't)
whereas in the other definitions,
it states:
2. a word that does not exist
I like the AI generated definition by the way
With the song of my breath
I call out to you
In my light
I search the depths
Of midnight
For you
You
Who are already formed
In my mind
In my heart
I cannot see my self
In this darkness
For in this watery abyss
I know not my own shape
I know only the vastness
Of what lies before me
From the source
Of light within
And the source without
That is above
The purpose of
My fathomless journey
Is to meet with you
So that we can become one
Balanced in creation
Our selves melded
I call out to you
In my light
I search the depths
Of midnight
For you
You
Who are already formed
In my mind
In my heart
I cannot see my self
In this darkness
For in this watery abyss
I know not my own shape
I know only the vastness
Of what lies before me
From the source
Of light within
And the source without
That is above
The purpose of
My fathomless journey
Is to meet with you
So that we can become one
Balanced in creation
Our selves melded
To manifest that which expresses
Our love
The silence
Is broken only by the length
Of my breath
Above mine own
From the unknown
I can hear the song of yours
Whose timbre echoes through
My bones
With my light
My breath
And a purpose
I move towards you
Feeling the truth of your
Existence
Only in the beat
Of my heart
Then
In a moment
The light expands around me
The darkness
is broken
And there.
Is you
In our melding
Our lights become one
And in creation
We become
A universe
Out of which
Births
A new world
Our love
The silence
Is broken only by the length
Of my breath
Above mine own
From the unknown
I can hear the song of yours
Whose timbre echoes through
My bones
With my light
My breath
And a purpose
I move towards you
Feeling the truth of your
Existence
Only in the beat
Of my heart
Then
In a moment
The light expands around me
The darkness
is broken
And there.
Is you
In our melding
Our lights become one
And in creation
We become
A universe
Out of which
Births
A new world

| Jacob Lawrence, The Card Game (1953) |
 |
| Marion Perkins, Figure Sitting (1939) |
In
honor of Mother's Day for Welcome to My Homepage Residency,
I want to invite you
to visit the museum at my alma mater
Savannah College of Art and Design
(alma mater is
generally used as a positive term, implying reverence and loyalty for
the nurturing qualities of the institution, and in this case,
of our
President and Founder Paula S. Wallace
I would like to present two works of art from The Walter O. Evans Collection
of African American at Scad Museum of Art
The
collection consists of more than 60 works donated by Dr. Walter O. and
Linda J. Evans that span more than 150 years, bringing to greater light
the remarkable contributions of African American artists throughout the
modern era.
It is one of the most important collections of African
American visual art dating from the 18th century to the present and
includes works from Edward Bannister, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett,
Robert S. Duncanson, Richard Hunt, Jacob Lawrence and others.
This
collection forms the foundation of a multidisciplinary center for the
study, understanding and appreciation of African American art and
culture.
Jacob
Lawrence's "The Card Game" (1953) depicts a group of card players
similar to scenes from artists like Caravaggio. The painting falls
within Lawrence's greater body of work, which highlights scenes in and
around his Harlem neighborhood in the 1950s, giving vibrant glimpses
into social gatherings. "Figure Sitting" (1939) is an early work by
Marion Perkins who was one of Chicago's foremost Renaissance sculptors
and was known for his compact and expressive carved stone heads and
figures, using stone from derelict city buildings.
My
son and I were lucky to meet Dr. Evans at the point
when he and his
wife were making their decision to make this donation.
I couldn't find a
Creative Commons license for either of these two works,
so I was
hesitant to alter or appropriate them
out of respect for Dr. Evans.
I
hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

| The Blue Marble by the crew of Apollo 17 (1972) |
I would like to express my love and gratitude for Earth,
from whom I have received constant and consistent love, support, compassion, empathy, Joy, surprise, awe, freedom, healing, inspiration, encouragement, hope and renewal
Happy Mother's Day 🌎♥️
The Blue Marble is an image of Earth taken on December 7, 1972,
from a distance of about 29,000 kilometers (18,000 miles) from the planet's surface.
It was taken by the crew of the Apollo 17 spacecraft on its way to the Moon,
and is one of the most reproduced images in history.
Please take the time to watch Earthrise
by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee of @emergencemagazine
https://emergencemagazine.org/story/earthrise-film/
Earthrise tells the story of the first image captured of the Earth from space in 1968. Told solely by the Apollo 8 astronauts, the film recounts their experiences and memories and explores the beauty, awe, and grandeur of the Earth against the blackness of space. This iconic image had a powerful impact on the astronauts and the world, offering a perspective that transcended national, political, and religious boundaries. Told 50 years later, Earthrise compels us to remember this shift and to reflect on the Earth as a shared home.
Director Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee is an Emmy nominated filmmaker and composer. His award-winning films have been featured on PBS, National Geographic, the New York Times, the New Yorker, and the Atlantic, exhibited at the Smithsonian, and screened at festivals worldwide. He is the executive editor of Emergence Magazine.
