It’s been a busy couple of weeks settling into my new studio space on 18th Street in Brooklyn and getting ready for this weekend’s Open Studio tour. I’ll have several recent works on view during the studio tour, among them several recent Lifeworld<\/strong> paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I’ve been looking at my writing about this long-term project, and massaged it all into a nifty Adobe Spark presentation<\/a>. It’s all based on a pretty nerdy essay I’ve been working on for a while (I have to try to put the philosophy PhD to good use somehow, right?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lifeworlds flourishing in the studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve pared it back some for the Spark presentation, but the gist is about how I have been informed and inspired by Edmund Husserl<\/strong>‘s writings on phenomenology. Nerdy but fun! I really didn’t know much (well, nothing) about Husserl until I chanced upon the term ‘life-world’ (“Lebenswelt<\/em>“) a few years back. But it’s been a happy encounter — this is a rich vein to mine! Perhaps I will publish more of this writing here in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, please do check out the Spark presentation (Lifeworlds: Painting as Phenomenological Investigation<\/a><\/strong>) and please do visit me this weekend during Gowanus Open Studios<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find me at Trestle Art Space, 62 18th Street, Brooklyn.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can visit artsgowanus.org<\/a> for a map and list of all of the participating artists. It’s going to be a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
