Holly Hanessian is an Associate Professor of Art at Florida State University. Her work involves ceramic and mixed media installations, sculptural objects and artist books. The installation at San Antonio�s art school, �The Poetry of Space,� will include porcelain letters strung on monofilament, offering a chance to reflect on such notions as fate, luck and chance. Hanessian has said of this work: �By combining words with delicate porcelain chain link and ceramic objects, a story is woven reflecting what we both lose and gain at different times in our life. I continue to question how, why and where we end up in life, is it good fortune, destiny or the result of choice?� Hanessian serves as exhibitions director of the National Council on Education of the Ceramics Arts. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com   Voodoo - Hoochie-Coochie and the Creative Spirit Riflemaker, London, UK United Kingdom Voodoo: Hoochie Coochie and the Creative Spirit opened at Riflemaker in London on Tuesday 28 October 2008 and continues through Saturday 12 January 2009. �The act of putting brush to canvas is an act of lyrical intuition, and in that act, in that instant, the personality and indeed the spirituality of the artist is revealed.� Francis Bacon quoted in Herbert Read 'Art Now', 1933.

Artblogs - Art Blogs: Life in motion, in the field of human experience Richard Solstjarna, USA Life in motion, in the field of human experience Everything in life is in motion and everything in the universe--from a thought to a solid rock, from the smallest electron to the entire cosmos-- is in a constant state of vibration. Life itself in the present moment are orchestrated like a great symphony. In sharing this same, reality, dream and Spirit.
