from the soundtrack of Anna, Luc Besson
“Earth empaths are a special type of empath who [are] keenly attuned to
the natural world and all of the Earth’s changes. The beauty of a
waterfall can exhilarate and energize these empaths...[they] are highly
sensitive to...the Earth... Sensually and
energetically, [feeling] the power of a thunderstorm, the loveliness
of the moon...What happens to
the Earth is intimately connected to [their] body.“ Judith Orloff
going through all my photos to find all my early digital art
so I can post it on OpenSea
I came across these paintings I had saved
by Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl
they are so mindblowing (also mindboggling)
so full of passion and emotion and utterly contemporary
from the late 1890s!
if my digital art could be like this, wow, I would be so happy

by the sea,
everything is covered in a layer of moisture,
including the air,
which is a blend of the salted water from the sea
and rain
I have become obsessed with the cloud cover
we rarely see clouds in Los Angeles
previously, on Nantucket,
I associated clouds with feeling oppressed and depressed
I only saw grey
grey on grey everywhere
grey clouds of grey days weighed heavily over the grey shingles
Living in the illuminated space where the sun always shines
has enabled me to see a new facet of nature-the ethereal beauty that is grey
It was always there,
but now I can see it
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
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

I was asked to complete a survey by one of my favorite magazines: What is most damaging to our world right now? Would it be climate change, et al? No. None of the above. My write in answer: Cancel Culture. Cancel Culture is an extreme form of erasure. The rage is palpable. But what did you
do? Did you really do what they said you did? It doesn't matter,
because it is too late.
You might be totally innocent. You may not even know why you have been cancelled.
Even if you didn't do it, they can't go back and uncancel the cancel. You're deleted
I am consciously working on expanding my Environmental Art practice. The focus of Environmental Art is the artist's relationship with Nature. I have been really struggling to find the words to describe my practice as well as consider its context within art history. I am just beginning to recognize that my work is a fusion of elements present in both Symbolism and Romanticism. This is one of my favorite Romantic nature paintings, Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, by Caspar David Friedrich. I love that the wanderer exists within the work, because, for me, it means that the wanderer's point of view is being emphasized.
I also love the work of Ansel Adams. Although there are no figures in his photographs I find them to be just as evocative.
While in Nature, I experience Stendahl Syndrome, and I want to convey this sense of awe in my work. Rather than attempting to influence or judge another or provide social commentary, I am merely sharing the deep love and respect I feel. I prefer to speak of the glory of nature, its astounding beauty and the emotions it evokes in me. To me, beauty is Nature’s greatest asset.
Nature is my inspiration, and it reveals who I am in the work I create. From this perspective, I am claiming my individuality.
Bring Them Home
I hope that I will see the Marbles back in Athens before I die;
but if they come back later I shall be reborn. Melina Mercouri
Far away from their native land, the Parthenon Marbles have been situated at the British Museum for over 150 years. That certainly means that there are continuous negotiations between the Greek government, asking for their return, and the British government who, together with the Trustees of the British Museum, have refused to do this. Ian Swindale
You must understand what the Parthenon Marbles mean to us. They are our pride. They are our sacrifices. They are the supreme symbol of nobility. They are a tribute to democratic philosophy. They are our aspiration and our name. They are the essence of Greekness. Melina Mercouri
The request for the restitution of the Parthenon Marbles is not made by the Greek government in the name of the Greek nation or of Greek history. It is made in the name of the cultural heritage of the world and with the voice of the mutilated monument itself, that cries out for its marbles to be returned. Evangelos Venizelos, former Greek Minister of Culture
