A Thing Of Itself

Artwork Tags:

This painting is inspired by my interest in the concept of Noumenons. A Noumenon is described as a thing of itself as it is which means in exists outside of the phenomenal world we live in so we can't actually see it or them. Noumenons have been a subject among philosophers since Kant but have been part of Buddhist and Taoist teachings for a couple of thousand years although not specifically called a noumenon. There are hundreds of 3 dimensional images of what they might look like. This is my attempt to create a 2D image of one.

STATEMENT

My work is inspired by my thoughts, feelings, musings and meditations about reality and whether there is such a thing. Who am I and how do I fit into the infinite cosmos? Buddhist teaching says everything is part of everything else just one infinite, timeless oneness and what we call reality is just a dream, a phantom, a drop of dew, a bolt of lightning. I like that thought.
