The Fulgent Cadences

Artist and healer Sue Gurnee will present a series of paintings each constructed to stimulate viewers to fully utilize their decision making process. Through her independent observational research that was begun in 1989, she has identified a cross cultural / cross generational set of seven distinct rhythmic brain functions, the fulgent cadences, that drive our decision making process. When all seven of these functions are operating fully, we make decisions that integrate both our inner will, the intuitive knowing self, and outer will, the action principal or motivational self. As most of us humans do not fully utilize all seven of these functions, these paintings have been made as a way for viewers to balance their rhythmic brain functions so to embrace growth and development through the quality of ones choices.

Tantra

These small paintings are made anonymously in India by practitioners of tantra, some of whom are artists, to signify and stimulate specific mental and /or spiritual experiences. While they are traditional images that have evolved over centuries with highly conventionalized forms and colors, they exude such a high level of intentionality that they continually appear fresh and alive. Despite their didactic function, they also have a history of being coveted as decorative objects and abstract art.
