ARTIST TALK AND PANEL DISCUSSION : LOVE IS…

with panelists : Sally Linder; Chico Martin; and Melinda Moulton

There is much to say and discover what we think love is and how it plays into our everyday world. We can think of love as simply tied to those who surround us at home, or, expand our hearts to include the work we do and the environment we live in. We know that what we see and how we see it is defined by what we were taught to value, by what we were trained to perceive.

Many use art to see and understand the world by questioning and creating images, others use science to grasp at underlying meaning, and still more, have religion to guide them. There are also those of us who see a family of trees holding a stream-bank together as having sentient life and worth preserving from the onslaught of deconstruction.

JOIN us for a panel discussion about LOVE IS and how it holds our lives together!

Sally Linder’s paintings show us the many forms and ask us to meditate on the meaning of love.  Love of course comes in many shapes – physical love, old love, puppy love, emotional lust, faithful friendship, love of others, love of self, and painful love.  Her paintings intoxicate us and fill us with the ecstatic beauty that is love and allow us to dissolve who we think we are.  Love is not a burden, but a transmission of faith, an eternal instinct of our Spirit.  When we love we hold all as sacred. We cry for the little birds in pain and sing with them in the joy. Through love our hearts leap out to the eternal, to our immortal Self, to that which is pure and free.
