(Dr. Atre) Pencil and watercolor and gold paint on paper, 24" x 18". Yoga Jeevana Kendra, Bangalore, India Yogacharya Dr. A.K. Atre founded the Yoga Jeevana Kendra, in 1990 in Bangalore, India. He started his Hatha Yoga practice in 1948, became a disciple of Sri Swami Shivananda Saraswati of the Divine Life Society in 1959, and achieved Kundalini awakening in 1973. His deep research produced the formulation of Kundalini Kriyas for safe and controlled arousal of kundalini energy for any dedicated student. He is a marvel of a man, built like a rock, and inspires and challenges his disciples daily. I am grateful and honored to have studied with him, to have been accepted as a disciple, and thrilled that he posed for this drawing, which I gave to him to keep. The image depicts Kundalini energy rising like a serpent through the chakras, as well as places and events from my travels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54ea9e56e4b03a84d2a8161b/1515107302111-T7P0WJANN8Q4JR7RJYXS/Kurios.jpg Work - Kurios India Ink and Glass Lens on Panel, 32 x 48", 2017.

As they climb the hill, people stoop to leave marks with their fingertips on each step and every step along the way. They use the yellow spice turmeric, and the red pigment kumkum. These pigments are kept in abundance at shrines along the way, encouraging you to participate in the ritual. As you climb, and leave these marks, your journey becomes a meditation and an offering. You leave a trace of yourself in your wake; you participate with a river of humanity in designating space as sacred. The stairs are luminous, covered in these glorious colors; a gorgeous integration of human presence in the natural world. This astonishing canyon in Mill Creek, frequented almost entirely by locals, has been a temple for me as well. I have spent many hours hiking, meditating, healing, and taking photos. Here in this canyon, I feel both grounded and free to be fully and authentically myself. I wanted to do something to designate this as sacred space, and started to make marks with natural earth pigments on the steps that are built into the canyon. I did this as they do in India, using only dabs of pigment with my fingertips, but as I did it here, in my hometown, I felt so lucky to have this easy, and free space so close to home. I couldn’t help but think about all of the effort and intense amounts of labor that was required to build these steps in the first place, and how grateful I am that it exists for all of us. We in Moab, Utah are incredibly fortunate to have immediate escape into nature all around us, which is one of the greatest reasons to live here. What is not always considered is how much work goes into creating these avenues for escape, particularly onto public lands. Many people are involved in the planning and design of these trails and access points: meetings are held, funding must be procured, bureaucratic hoops jumped through, and many hours of hard physical labor are required to create these trails, which are, by design, invisible. They are meant to integrate as minimally into the environment as possible. The piece that I created, For Chamundi, is designed to make this work impossible to overlook, but only for a couple of days. The pigments that I use are Earth-based natural pigments, completely non-toxic and non-staining, and will wear away quickly under foot traffic and weather. I understand if people are concerned, but I would never do anything that would compromise the environment for the sake of making my work. This ephemeral work is intended to designate the canyon as sacred space, to celebrate the people involved in creating this incredible system of trails that give us easy and free access to this sacred space, and to contribute to the unique and magical environment for those that experience the rainbow steps, while they last. I entered this work into the 2014 Moab Plein Air competition, in the category of Dry Media. It was an attempt to expand the definition of what Plein Air might be in the contemporary art context. The work has met with some criticism from some members of the community, but many others who have visited the site, have had a wonderful experience, and see what I have done as beautiful. A GIANT thank you to Logan Hansen, who threw the video together for me in the last minute, to Walter Davis for the camera, to my father who gave me the pigment for my birthday, not knowing what it would be used for, (but now approves;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54ea9e56e4b03a84d2a8161b/1424678293911-SZBE95XL955K7WUJONJD/Mother+Spore+%28Skydive%29.jpg Work http://www.lisacorinevonkoch.com/about daily 0.75 2021-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54ea9e56e4b03a84d2a8161b/1424735186234-C3YT5IT0SW7MUVA14NKP/27ef868543abf9c4e16439c1aeb8f0bd.jpg Curriculum Vitae http://www.lisacorinevonkoch.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2015-02-23 http://www.lisacorinevonkoch.com/news-1 daily 0.75 2024-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54ea9e56e4b03a84d2a8161b/be9603b3-1c23-427e-ac2d-96304760d257/40+west+award.jpg News!!! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54ea9e56e4b03a84d2a8161b/2c1282fb-50c8-40ca-8a16-b1ce9ec414f6/IMG_2765.JPG News!!! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54ea9e56e4b03a84d2a8161b/b6270f99-f982-4f74-bd19-7c594fa883bd/IMG_2764.jpeg News!!! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.lisacorinevonkoch.com/news daily 0.75 2017-09-20 http://www.lisacorinevonkoch.com/pnuemama-bios-for-meow-wolf daily 0.75 2018-10-22
