The Fabrics of the Cosmos Consciousness” – a permanently growing artistic project

What is consciousness? What is human awareness of self and our surroundings? What is it that makes us human? These are, for me, the most important questions of our times. Answers we might find many, for me, the most important one is: love in all its expressions leading to a conscious awareness of ourselves in relation to the other, to our surroundings, nature, stars, cosmos which fill us with awe. It is something beyond words, that in history of anthropology and philosophy worldwide has since millennia been talked about as “souls”, something non physical, non biological transcending physical needs and life.

We feel it, sense it, sometimes in physical touch, sometimes in touch with our emotions, heart, “gut feelings”, intuitions. Where we all might have experienced this inexplicable power is when participating in an exhibition or show of the arts, any arts, concerts, theater, poetry speaking to us and touching us over experiences of millennia, artworks which take our breath away when we finally stand in front of them in the real physical world – beyond photographs, videos or audiotapes – and it seems that our soul is touched by another soul.

The hand made artwork right in front of us, musicians standing or sitting in front of us performing, the authentically personal writings of any human written text, and, at best, read by the author in front of us, especially poetry, leaves us, very often, speechless in awe. For me, this is one of the main characteristics of what makes us human.

In all my work, since my teenage years, as an artist and writer, I explored this question “what is it that makes us human?” I realized very soon that observing my inner workings and my life unfolding in my ambidextrous work as an ambihemispherically functioning human being would become crucial in times of the development of artificial intelligences constructed on base of both hemispheres of the human brain perfectly synchronized workings and trained with information of the human brain at work.

My most ingenuine moments of inner meditation are shown in my pastels on paper, in which I am searching for words and signs arising in my stream of consciousness and remaining in the pulverized color pigments of the pastel lines, leaving my very personal fingerprints and handwriting within the poetry of the artwork, my Driftword poetries.

Since two years, I started to turn these hand written and painted signs and words of all my painted artwork into context in texts as textiles, based on a long tradition of the metaphor in literature and actual textile weaving traditions, signs and glyphs of known or unknown origine arising in the spontaneous simultaneity of the meditative moment at work.

Meditative moments woven together with the energies of calligraphic gestures in paintings and pastels or big format mixed media paintings on raw canvas, recombined in digital art prints on very lightweight and translucid natural parachute silk. Intricate art, sublime poetry on human dignity expressed in meditative movements of breath and dance, to be danced with. Here I show, where digital tools can allow for a human artwork to become our garment for life, of light weight mobility, of a daily breath of air on our skin or walls.

The translucid dream of the translucid garment of time, the presence of the poetic moment, the poetry of spontaneously arising actuality in simultaneity of the presently occurring moment composing the fabric of cosmos consciousness, in timeless eternal presence of any present moment ever occurred.
