My work involves a walking meditation and the disconnect between the mind and the brain. This disconnect allows the brain to take over physical activity while the mind is engaged elsewhere. The brain fills in information that it knows and understands, allowing for physical activity. work on other things. The disengagement creates a meditative state that can become so great that time and distance disappear. At certain points my brain encounters elements it does not understand and needs the mind to reconnect to provide the needed information. These are the scenes I paint in a cool monochromatic palette to simulate the meditative state..
