Art Models Living Systems

“Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither god nor poet; one need only own a good shovel. By virtue of this curious loophole in the rules, any clodhopper may say: Let there be a tree, and there will be one.” Aldo Leopold

Art-making is the breaking down and re-forming of living patterns, and this process itself exchanges energy back into the system. The evolutionary collective learning is transferred from artist to viewer; and the viewer’s feedback to the artist completes the energetic loop. Each participant guides the other in forming and re-forming the physical, emotional, aesthetic, and socio-political adaptations that we need to survive and thrive in our ever-changing global community. By drawing our attention to the interrelationships of our biology and genetics with our production of art, MayBe Art creates a mindful space for our community to work, teach, play and develop our consciousness.
