Abstract
Artist Talk: The artworks is about the process for investigating the expression and transformation of intergenerational emotions on the path of cultural, ancestral, and racial healing, wisdom, and liberation. Focusing on the process was intended to teach me something that I might not otherwise see or learn. The sequential processes were sumi-ink painting, digital photography, and acrylic painting. The method was guided by (1) Indo-Tibetan Buddhist mind training, which culminated into a chart of identified colors, emotions and their transformation, and home artifacts; and (2) understanding my body in relationship to land unlike Western medical/scientific socialization that strips out spirituality.
