Healing Images
Art often relies on the faculties of intuition and visualization to arrive at understanding. This series of images were informed by the tradition of Tantra Art and conceived after contemplative meditation on specific ailments that are common to the human condition.
Made with soft pastel and watercolor, they respond to the questions: Can an artist design visual imagery in order to have an intentional affect on a viewer? Can we make artworks during this era of "mechanical reproduction" (as Walter Benjamin would say) whose impact grows with their mass distribution, instead of lessens?
The drawings were first shown in Healing Images: A Prescription For America at Abrams Claghorn Gallery in Albany, CA in 2018.
Archival Giclee Prints are available at www.georgiaelectra.com .
Each print comes with suggestions on how to use the healing images to benefit ones everyday life.
