The doilies represent a certain desire to keep the appearance of gentility to the outside world expressed through the arrangement of objects in the domestic setting, including gardens.

    3 Laraaji I do a variety of things that keep me in a place of openness and fow – staying connected with my laughter, staying soft, staying with my breath. So the way I stay centered in New York: I visit the parks. Two of my favorite parks are Riverside Park and Central Park. I also go dancing a lot, especially dancing with shoes off, which allows me to open up, be free, and move beyond my local body sense of self into an open energetic spatial feld. So practicing, opening, and communing and interacting with a feld that is much larger than a location called New York City. So also meditation. Meditation for me means dropping, in a transcendental way, into conscious present time and being there, and just staying there not doing anything. Not thinking anything. Not processing any thought fow. Staying out of the processing of linear thought fow, staying out of the act of processing a local personal history identity, and being empty. Meditation is staying empty, staying out of local time, space, and mind. That’s how I stay centered in New York. Centered means being in my center. The center for me is not my body. The center for me is source, the self that holds me as an eternal being. So my center is spirit. Some of us refer to this as spirit or as God or as vol. 003 creative intelligence or as soul or as origin or as source, but when I am in it I no longer need to have a name for it.

  • Fungi As Source of Inspiration in Contemporary Art Corrado Nai1,2* and Vera Meyer1*
    Nai and Meyer Fungal Biol Biotechnol (2016) 3:10 DOI 10.1186/s40694-016-0028-4 Fungal Biology and Biotechnology COMMENTARY Open Access The beauty and the morbid: fungi as source of inspiration in contemporary art Corrado Nai1,2* and Vera Meyer1* Abstract The arts have the power to irritate, to provoke and to let us think and dream about the impossible. The relationship of the arts and fungi is not immediate; however, fungi are ideal subjects for artists. They are both visible and invisible. They irritate. They evoke within each of us different feelings and inner pictures. Some are perceived as disgusting or dangerous because associated with dirt or death. Others are appreciated for their unique and delicious taste in our eating culture. Microbiologists further consider them as useful for industrial exploitation or per se as interesting because they are gratifying objects to study basic phenomena of life. To stimulate a fertile and interdisciplinary dia- logue between artists and fungal scientists, we here present some examples of the inspirational powers of fungi and fungal science for contemporary art. Astonishing, poetic and perplexing artistic works could release scientific creativ- ity and overcome the boundaries between art and science. Keywords: Science and art, Bioart, Contemporary art, Fungi, Fungal-based materials, Burial suit “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again.
