The DEER/DEAR series

#1/ #2/#3/ #4/ #5/ #6/ #7/ #8/ #9

Mixed Media on Board

Each painting measures approximately 18″H x 12″W

2016 – 2017

X

ALL of my work is an encounter.

Visceral.

Intimate dialogues.

Calling out the  viewer’s capacity to listen/attend to nuance.

To experience the work one must have a real encounter with the offering.

My work is how a photograph of a beloved cannot compare

to the actual presence of a beloved.

X

My work denies the camera’s eye.

X

A viewer’s actual encounter with my work

is the dynamic LIVE performance.

 

X
X

X
X
X
X
X
X
X

X
X
X

I listen to my listening.

Listen. Listen. Listen wide open. 

Sacred listening.

Sacred/Sublime offerings.

#884 + The ANNUNCIATION of Jaspar Obi’s soulspirit – DEER / DEAR + BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL

JASPAR OBI’s

Jim,

who was the first person

who met

Jaspar Obi

in December 2008,

received my text stating:

  Dr. Pomeroy just called at 4:10pm!

Jaspar’s ashes have arrived.

X

X

X

X

At  the very same moment

as Jim read my message:

Jim had looked upon

a

DEER

stopped at curb

on Lake Bde Maka Ska

(formerly Calhoun)

– a lake in the heart

of  residential

Minneapolis.

X
X
X
X
X

Jim stopped.

The

deer

gazed at Jim

and

then

slowly/peacefully

crossed

the street

toward the waters.

X
X
X
X
X

Jim called me immediately

with this sighting,

 with this rare phenomena, 

with this

annunciation.

X

X

X

X

X

I’ve been

waiting

for a sign of

what

energy/form

Jaspar Obi’s

soulspirit

would

present to me.

X

X

His lived life was an envoy of pure love.

X

X

X

X

X

Jaspar Obi’s

valiant / victorious

soulspirit

crossed

over

at 5:15 pm

last week

on

Veteran’s Day.

I knew

that the

DEER

was my

Jaspar Obi:

a

DEAR / DEER.

YES.

X
X
X
X
X

X
X
X
X

X

A wash

of

serene quiet sweet beauty

swept through my body

  once Jim told me the story.

The choke of my profound grief

lessened its clawed grip on my heart.

I felt the

beautiful calm

that I always experienced with

Jaspar Obi’s

living/breathing presence:

TREASURE HEART.

X

The symbolism of a deer is :

spiritual superiority;

piety;

devotion;

independence;

and

purification.

X

X

X

A

DEER

is a

messenger

of

serenity,

can

see

between

shadows

and

hear

unsaid

words.

X

X

X

Deer symbolism

teaches us

to maintain our innocence

and

gentleness

so that we can

share

our 

open-heartedness

with others.

were brought

All of my work refuses/denies the camera’s eye.

occurs with an actual encounter – presence.

The beauty of one’s beloved is

the improvisational/sacred listening

the beloved.

BELOVED

JASPAR OBI.

X

X

X

ELEMENT

is the last series of art

that was created

with the

ALL of ALL

of

JASPAR OBI

in my studio

– sleeping below my stainless steel table

and

sending his blessings to me as

I dove for the pearl deep,

listening to the sound of the silver horn,

in the sea of my imagination.

X

X

JASPAR OBI

was present,

a 

glorious/vital/adventurous/joyous/blessed

presence,

for 10.5 years in my life.

Sacred listening.

Peaceful.

Loved.

Supported.

Released.

X

X

All gathered at 4:45 pm.

The wind was fierce and the temperature was frigid.

They  truly had my back

– I felt an unusual comfort in the shelter of their care.

 

X

X

I  had bathed Jaspar

in the bathtub

two hours earlier.

I seared every pass

of my hand on his body

to memory.

He was too weak to shake off the water.

We would have a game:

Shake #1 to #8!!

Jaspar loved being bathed – feeling clean, fresh.

X

Jaspar Obi’s

K9 buddies walked with him

as he was wheeled

in his cart

to

Dr. Pomeroy’s clinic several blocks away:

Juno (Leah),

Jax (Maggie);

Remy ( Erin + Todd);

with

Steph

and

Mike. 

X

X

BEAUTIFUL.

X

X

I burst out crying

when I experienced

the beauty

of the

loving kindness,

compassion

and

courage 

of those who chose to

walk with Jaspar/me

as my

heart

was

shattering.

X

X

Love IS.

PRESENCE.

LOVE is a riverVERB.

 

X

X

X

I 

caressed

Jaspar’s

sweet body,

wrapped my arms around him

– my chest upon him,

kissed him,

and

thanked him

for our adventure

until…

X

X

Dr. Pomeroy was amazed that Jaspar’s  life force

prevailed over the grim prognosis

of his bone cancer in his sinus cavities.

Every week Dr. Pomeroy checked in.

X

X

Jaspar and I

CHOSE to LIVE.

WONDER.

AWE.

Jaspar was/is my soul guide and companion in life.

X

X

X

The walk back without my Jaspar

was walking without my legs.

Jaspar and I had created/ lived a beautiful bountiful life for 10.5 years

– together.

X

X

Suddenly,

as we entered Mears Park.

the cascade of our stories

overwhelmed me.

I was surrounded

in the dedicated love of his BEST K9 friends

and

 dear friends.

X

X

When we were crossing

through Mears Park,

Mike stopped and said:

LISTEN!

We all stopped.

In the park’s pavilion’s stage,

from the large speakers:

Sally was with me at the Dakota Jazz Club on 8 August 2012.

X

X

X

X

X

A meditation:

X

“…The physical phenomenon of quantum entanglement 

is a wonderful illustration of the interconnected nature

of reality,

both spiritual and material. 

 In quantum physics,

it appears that one particle of any entangled pair “knows”

what is happening to another paired particle

— even though there is no known means

for such information to be communicated

between the particles,

which are separated by sometimes very large distances.

X

Perhaps we could compare this to phenomena such as

bilocation,

mental telepathy,

providence,

or

synchronicity…

X

…We must deliberately choose to be instruments of peace

— first of all in our minds and hearts.

This is conscious quantum entanglement. 

God is not “in” heaven nearly as much

as God is the force field that allows us

to create heaven

through our intentions and actions.”

X

– Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditations

X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X
X

Sally welcomed

ALL of life,

the ALL of ALL.

X

X

Sally eclipsed the conventions,

the discrete constructs,

of a binary world

– she lived in the three gifts of GRACE:

Faith, Hope, and Love.

She lived in the animal angel tides and waters of

Body, Soul, and Spirit.

She lived in the Dawn between the Night to the Day

between what is seen and unseen.

She lived in the Earth, Heaven, and Sea

as a winged airborne being

– carried by the air of transcendence.

She lived the miraculous cycles of birth, of death,

and,

of the resurgent re-birth

of the

Phoenix.

She lived the poem heart of a mythical creature

that could SEE light, wonder and awe

even when in the darkness of the soul.

X

Sally welcomed

ALL of life,

the ALL of ALL.

X

X

I met Sally thirty-three years ago over a telephone wire:

my call to her about supporting live performances of music.

I fell in love with the song of her voice and the chiming joy of her laugh.

A series of my calls to her ensued,

and slowly,

a sensitive and responsive recognition occurred between us.

Our next exchange would be an interaction – live.

X

Sally invited me to sit with her in front

of a wide bank of windows looking onto

the Mississippi River.

A four-hour flow of a conversation was the annunciation

of a blooming relationship

that could speak without words.

A conversation without words

would become a blessed providence

when her expression using words was cancelled.

A conversation without words meant attending

the potent language and spectrum of:

utterances;

silences;

flushes of color,

and

gestures with great and small body movements

– the instruments,

the exquisite skills,

and

the world of the artist.

X

Sally welcomed

ALL of life,

the ALL of ALL.

X

X

Sally’s presence was a warm candle-lit balm,

a baptism into blue cool waters,

a joyous yellow tulip hallelujah choir.

When in her presence, she engaged one fully,

completely enfolding one into her soul’s bouquet and chapel.

Sally was trust.

Her radiant countenance unlocked the citadels

of one’s truth

– lifting away and opening up scar tissues

to unveil

one’s nakedness and vulnerabilities

because of her honest,

pure and venerated gaze.

Sally was a shaman of life.

She commanded authenticity,

the requisite truth telling of intimacy,

and

elegant innocence.

X

Sally welcomed

ALL of life,

the ALL of ALL.

X

X

In a time of searing trauma of my life,

Sally tenderly and precisely extended

her shamanic arm down my throat

into my solar plexus and grasped

the cold fragile ember of my life force

with her nimble, knowing fingers

– curling it into the palm of her ballerina’s hand.

I let her in because she was she.

Gently, she beautifully glided her arm

back out of my mouth

with my life force securely held in her palm.

Sally breathed rhythmically

onto the cold ember,

until and, in time, sparks flew.

She knew my wounds could not deaden me

– the inviolable who of whom I am.

She could SEE me with an original eye.

Her soul and spirit was sacred and reverential.

X

Sally welcomed

ALL of life,

the ALL of ALL.

X

X

 

Sally was the promised kiss of springtime

– the joy of Easter,

new beginnings of creativity, wonder, and awe.

X

My heart is shattered that circumstances denied my capacity

to caress her with my actual presence and touch

to bid farewell to her physical bearings.

X

X

The night sky is now brilliant

with our unrepeatable Sally’s

rare,

fierce,

and

luminous radiance

because

Sally is Sally:

the past, the present and the future

pioneering

ONE shining exploring constellation

of 

grace love’s quiet kindness,

courageous improvisation

and

boundless innovation.

Sally Foy Dixon

SALLY’S GARDEN

 

The poor quality photograph

documents

one of the ninety-six

original color crayon drawings.

Each  drawing was held up by wood clothespins

clipped on a wire that encircled the gallery.

Each drawing honored a cherished relationship.

The 2004 exhibition was titled:

“The soul should always stand ajar,

ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.”

― Emily Dickinson
