MOUNTAIN, 2019, Mixed plaster technique, 36” x 24”
Nothing in my life has left a trace of the past
Lost between the true and the false
Long days the snow has covered the mountain.
This winter the snow is the mountain
Eihei Dogen c.1250
This piece I related to this late poem by Dogen. It was introduced to me in a dharma talk by Jokei Molly Delight Whitehead in February at Stone Creek Zen Center.
