The text consists of daily meditations, and stream-of-consciousness responses, to the writings of the Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh (1926 - 2022), known as the “father of mindfulness.” Each scroll holds the words of the monk along with the artist’s own words. These are twisted and gathered into a sculptural tangle of long tendrils. The title of the work is derived from the title of the book at the core of this work: Your True Home: The Everyday Wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh. -Linda Ekstrom
Seven Stanzas on Your One True Home, Poem by Julie Dillemuth
I feel calm in its presence.Severn ropes bundled at the top with wire,a cascade of twisted tracing paper ten feet long,inked with a flow of confident letters. (the poem in its entirety available at the gallery)Ink on tracing paper
