DreamMaking

THE INTIMACY OF PICTURE/REALITY

by Richard Stodart


Paintings by Richard Stodart and words by Hee-Jin Kim


Human fallibility (amid delusion/dream) and human perfectability (beyonddelusion/dream) entwine as foci of thinking and meditation, in and through emptiness. 


From this dynamic perspective, one lives amid/beyonddream by expounding/making a dream within a dream, in and through the reconstructive and dynamic function of emptiness, without blurring the differences between duality and nonduality.

Free And Easy Wandering

MARKINGS ON THE WAY

by Richard Stodart


Free and Easy Wandering, Markings on the Way is an abstract painting expression of a journey with the nonduality of light and darkness to make a dream of the truth of existence.  Inspired by a Taoist allegory, Free and Easy Wandering tells the story of a wanderer in three phases of freedom: autonomy, aloneness and detachment. 

Twelve stages or Markings form the landscape —from isolation to nonduality. 


The Markings present a view of nature in which great care, balance and order are central to cultivating fairness in human understanding. Like postcards sent home, the Markings show the mood of the landscape of nonduality and the quality of the wanderer's experience.


With 17 color plates.

The Someone In Painting A Picture

A PAINTING RETROSPECTIVE

by Richard Stodart


The "someone" immersing itself in the nonduality of painting/a picture is presumed to be the mediator in and through which the symbol and the symbolized entwine as nondual foci of entire time.


In this retrospective, covering more than 40 years of his work in the painting experience, Richard Stodart explores the mediator as presence, cognition, archetypal awareness, naked awareness, beauty, the dragon, wisdom, synairesis, the consciousness of abstracting, geniality, luxury, and nonthinking. In the process, discrete pairs of nonduality are engaged, including the foci: duality and nonduality, self and reality, continuity and discontinuity, enlightenment and delusion, earth and sky, light and darkness, equality and differentiation, engagement and contemplation, thinking and meditation.


Two-hundred and two paintings in color and seventeen black and white drawings illustrate this quest with nonduality.  Practitioners of Daism, primordial wisdom teachings, Kaballah, Tibetan Buddhism, tantra, Taoism, Vedanta, Dogen's Zen, and those interested in the works of Jean Gebser, Alfred Korzybski, and Lewis L. Thompson will find touchstones of affirmation in this book.
