  Dorothee Deiss

  

  

  

  “It was quieter and nicer with the Wall. The only drawback was that nobody could spontaneously stop by for coffee on Sundays. - T.S., Pankow, East-Berlin” 

  A quote from the Dorothee Deiss exhibit “As if Nothing Happened” at the Blue Sky Gallery in the Pearl. The portrayal of the ex-Berlin Wall was one of the most thought provoking and appealing shows at First Thursday tonight.

  A bike path replaces the Wall.

  I hope I dream in cave paintings tonight

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  “In the forbidden recess of the cave, there’s a footprint of an eight-year-old boy next to the footprint of a wolf. Did the wolf stalk the boy? Or did they walk together as friends? Or did the wolf leave its footprints 5,000 years later?”

  Cave of Forgotten Dreams - Werner Herzog

  Herzog describes the artwork as the awakening of the modern human soul. I hope I dream in cave paintings tonight.

  Kymia Nawabi

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  I have become obsessed with the work of Kymia Nawabi. She just won Bravo’s Work of Art and has a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum. I would fly across the country to see this exhibit if I had the money. Her drawing style, scale, and exploration of ideas are a huge inspiration to me. The following is a quote about the exhibition from the Brooklyn Museum. If you live in or near New York, check her out, the show is up until February 5th.

  “Nawabi’s presentation, which she titled Not for Long, My Forlorn when it appeared on the final episode of Work of Art, may be seen as an expression of both her personal mythology and her ideas on the cyclical nature of life. Produced over a period of three months, it includes twelve paintings and two sculptures inspired by the Egyptian deity Thoth, most often represented as a man with the head of an ibis. Nawabi appropriates the idea of Thoth as the god who holds the universe in balance and who greets the deceased in the afterlife. Her work also incorporates the Ouroboros, an ancient symbol of eternity that is often depicted in the shape of a snake eating its own tail. Viewed by the artist as a positive force, the snake, which sheds its skin, becomes a metaphor for renewal and the passage from one form of life to the next.”

  Columbia River Gorge

  

  

  

  And then we got to the Columbia River Gorge, about 40 min from Portland. The air moistened, moss grew, and we knew we were moving somewhere magical.
