Not the best photos in the world (apologies) but here are some of Belkis Ayón’s Collagraphs from the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Notice the scale of several pieces and how they are joined with smaller sections. Each work is mounted on cardboard because it was what was available to her.

Belkis Ayón

Ayón was a Cuban printmaking artist who specialised in collagraphy, making works based on Abakuá, an Afro-Cuban men's secret society. Her works feature ghost-like black and white figures. While the subject of these painting aren't actually ghosts, I find the figures really intriguing in terms of my concept.

I love her use of negative space and the balance of greys and blacks to add a transparent quality.

“One who sees dependent origination sees the Dhamma; one who sees the Dhamma sees dependent origination.”

Majjhima Nikāya 28 

“According to Buddhist thought, universality is a symbiotic order in which humanity, nature, and the cosmos coexist, and microcosm and macrocosm are fused in a single living entity. In Buddhism, the idea of symbiosis is conveyed by the idea of ‘dependent origination.’ Whether in human society or in the realm of nature, nothing exists in isolation; all phenomena are mutually supportive and related, forming a living cosmos. Once this is understood, then we can establish the proper role of reason.”
