The Staff & Volunteers of RVML Present:First Friday Art Walk in Ashland's Railroad District:"Images of the Sacred" by Augusta Lucas-Andreae, MA, CHTOpens First Friday, November 6, 5:00-8:00 pmExhibit Runs November 7-29, 10-6 DailyDescription:Painting mandalas has been a profound inner experience, and the most healing form of art I have so far attempted. It has required a willingness to let go of all preconceived ideas and a surrender into unknown regions of deep, still, formless inner space. This is like going into "the crack between the worlds", and I have heard it said that this is where the Great Spirit lives. It does feel like tapping into a source which appears to hold an inexhaustible supply of imagery, if I can only be still and receptive enough to receive it.This process creates the most intimate connection with what I experience to be the Essence, or Self, and evokes a deep feeling of love for the work and a strong sense of dedication to bring it about, no matter how difficult it is sometimes to bring vision into form. When the center of a mandala is allowed to emerge in this way it will evolve from the inside outward, each image-idea following from the previous one, until it completes itself in its round shape.I hold the round shape of the mandala to be imminently sacred. It has been perceived as such since ancient times in many areas of the world. To quote Black Elk (Oglala Sioux Indian): "Everything the power of the world does is done in a circle......"Artist's Biography:Augusta Lucas-Andreae, MA, CHT, is an artist, teacher and therapist.
