Chromatic Tissues

Chromatic Tissues, 2021, gouache, washi paper, textile glue. Each work is part of the series intended to remain together as a singular work. Each Chromatic Tissue is named after the invisible, ineffable qualities of life, in particular human life that endures and transforms suffering through the witnessing of beauty. The works can be interpreted in many ways, including the value of life, ‘papers’ related to being acknowledged as a person or citizen, and makes dimensional aspects that can be often flatted. Further based on experiences with Synesthesia, which is believed to be present in 2-4% of the world population, the work aims to posit a higher number since the level of perception relies upon the awareness of the subconscious and somatic realms. Further meaning could be a warning about human spirits with caution to those who deny your experience of reality. In a world made of myths, each body is a needle and thread. Speaking the truth has often been and remains dangerous, alas heart-centered people carry this difficult choice. Contact to collect or exhibit the work: mariammanart@icloud.com
