DreamMaking

The Intimacy of Picture/Reality

Paintings by Richard Stodart 

Words by Hee-Jin Kim

DreamMaking radically explores the possibility of

language in the dialectical intimacy of duality 

(thinking—expressing a dream within a dream) and

nonduality (not-thinking—within a dream making a dream),

in and through nonthinking.   As the wisdom

of emptiness, nonthinking explicates a more permeable and

permeating discrimination of expressible clarity ever-within 

the process of realization itself.

"Just hanging on its own in emptiness, 

the 
expression of the dream within a dream allows 

objects to float free in emptiness.

Within emptiness, stable balance is manifested.

Stable balance is the great way of the balance scale.

While suspending emptiness and suspending objects, 

whether as emptiness or as forms, expression of the dream 

within a dream 
joins settled balancing.

There is no liberation other than expression of the dream

within a dream"
