Art is science you can feel. Stay with me on this...
Two things I don't share often - My background in the arts, and pictures of my family :)
I actually went to undergraduate school on an art scholarship. I was a double major - English and Art... while working the family business, a nutrition store. I was also a full blown opiod addict... Oh how I wish I knew then what I know now!
I changed my life a lot since then, but I will never lose my love for the arts.
These pictures are from a recent visit to The Art Institute of Chicago with my family.
On this visit, we visited the Modern Art wing.
I know Modern Art gets a lot of flack. I get it. But let me give you my two cents...
For me, Modern Art is best experienced in person rather than on a screen or a photo of the work. There is something about really being there that is totally different from seeing it in a book or one the screen. There is a feeling, an immediacy that is hard to translate into prints or pictures.
Side note-
Every time we come to museum, I visit the oldest piece of the museum, a Sumarian figurinine thousands of years old. They don't know exactly whether it was a toy or a religious figurine. I love that mystery and have spent more than my share of time just staring at it, wondering what it has seen over It's lifespan.
Okay- now back to my original point...
While many people seperate the arts and the sciences, they shouldn't. Science tells us how. Art is where we give it meaning. And what is Art but playing with physics, chemistry, and acoustics?
Art is science you can feel.
That is also what I love about breath.
When I became a breathworker, I realized it was the perfect blend of the magic of art and the consistency of science that I never knew I was dreaming about my whole life. It is art. It is science. And I don't think I will ever tire of it.
If you feel the same way, let me know in the comments!
