The Circle Way Installation at The Expressive Arts Institute Gallery in San Diego. Encaustic on canvas.
The Circle Way is an expression of 'enlightenment' or the 'ecstatic experience'. Some believe this experience can not be represented or expressed in art or any other way and it is futile to attempt it. I disagree, and
The Circle Way is an installation in an immersive space to give the viewers the opportunity to experience for themselves within the space itself.
The Circle Way includes the immersive space, video, music, performance, and large circular canvases in encaustic which is a wax-based medium applied while hot.
See the
Spiritual in Art: Abstract Painting 1890-1985 by Maurice Tuchman for ways artists have tried to depict or express the 'mystical experience'.
