DreamMaking, The Intimacy of Picture/Reality conjoins words,
pictures, and reality, to provide a modern vision of non-duality in
which enlightenment is "ever-intimate" with and transparent to
delusion; right within enlightenment is the insidiousness of
delusion, and right within delusion is the ambiguity of
enlightenment. The act of making a dream in the context of Dogen's
Zen was engaged in the painting experience during eight years of
study by the artist Richard Stodart, six years of which included
email conversations with Hee-Jin Kim, author of Dogen On Meditation
And Thinking: A Reflection On His View of Zen (SUNY Press, 2007).
Readers will find judiciously selected essential passages from the
textual maze of Dogen On Meditation And Thinking, chosen and
organized by the artist to present intelligent readers Dogen's
thought with enhanced clarity and excitement. Twenty-two abstract
paintings are interspersed among the words, which served the
painterly praxis of understanding and expressing the
realizational/dynamics of Dogen's Zen. The actional understanding
of the binary pair of delusion and enlightenment, as entwined vines
of existence-time, is examined in paintings such as Entwined Vines,
As One Side Is Illumined..., Sameness and Difference, Spring/Peony
Flower, Mountains And Rivers, and What Is This That Comes, in and
through the dual "seeing"/"making" function of emptiness. An
attempt is thus made to deconstruct ("see")/reconstruct ("make") a
dream of delusion and enlightenment as "great delusion"/"great
enlightenment." For readers unfamiliar with Dogen's nondual
dialectic of delusion and enlightenment, DreamMaking, The Intimacy
of Picture/Reality offers a novel introduction through the co-focal
intimacy of words and pictures/the universe.
