All the Little Cups of My Thoughts

Selected for Blue (2021), national juried show of the Cambridge Art Association, Cambridge, MA

The beautiful and charming Buddhist meditation “I will drink thy consciousness as joy and bliss from all the little cups of my thoughts” inspired this work. Each cup possesses a slightly different form and exterior texture, while I limited the interiors to a palate of blues and greens. The “gridded” tray evokes a chess board which is appropriate to the tenor of the work as chess is a quiet, concentrated activity.
