Hello world! hello DA! it sure has been a while... sorry for not staying in touch - i've been busy... jet setting it around the world. Talking, painting, teaching and dreaming lots about ridiculous dreams, such as taking a train around the world of all the genius and awesomeness of humankind... packaged ever so splendidly in a circus of participation, activation and regeneration... leaving traces of food gardens, painted walls and inspired people of all ages...
in the meantime i do my best to enjoy my ever changing surroundings and get some painting in as time & space provides
I'll be spending the Solstice, 21st of December 2012 on the Big Island of Hawaii... celebrating the birth of a new planet at the captain of the New Earth Army's land... playing as if we were already 10 years in the future after acclimating to the Love Bomb...
Here's to all of you having a wonderful Solstice and Holyday season

Hello Deviants...
Been a little while since I've been around these parts... figured it was time to swing back through...
I"m deep in the cave... finishing up a new series of work for my upcoming solo show at 'Knew Conscious Gallery' in Denver, Colorado.
Opening reception is Feb. 11th... 2012

here is the link to details about the show: amandasage.com/2012/01/hello-2…
Here's the Facebook invite: www.facebook.com/events/276456…


"The whole of humankind is in each one of us. In both the conscious and the unconscious.  
One is the result of thousands of years; embedded in each one us – as one can find, if one knows how to delve into it, go deeply inside – is the whole history, the whole knowledge, of the past." –Krishnamurti-


I left nothing hidden in my latest body of work, "Self Exposure." It is my quest to reveal the mystery & power that lies within and provoke the lifting of the collective veil.

The largest piece in this show is 'Ana-Suromai' which is a life size self portrait. In this piece I am lifting my skirt to a corrupt system based on greed, based on the profiting in war, and mindless consumption of the masses. It symbolizes the awakening of our personal power, shocking one into introspection as this system is beginning to crumble.

We stand at a pinnacle in time, and as I paint I confront truth that lies behind the mystery of self. Many of these pieces began as live paintings during concerts, gatherings & festivals.
By releasing thought, faces began to center within the window of the egg, a mirror reflecting everything that has been and could be. I tuned into each character as their stories developed and as I painted I meditated and listened with heightened senses to the world around me. This allowed for a visual story to be told, weaving color and form, allowing meaning & purpose to reveal itself.

As seen with works previous to this collection, the egg has been a deeply reoccurring symbol in my work. It again is significant with this body of work as it acts as a vessel in which anything can be held or conceived. It is a time portal, a doorway to infinite possibilities, giving birth to constant change.  

In my studio, these pieces matured while the vibrating frequency of a collective human evolution, of a revolution in consciousness, inspired each detail. I am inspired by the visionaries of today and yesterday, to build a bridge between their words and actions. I can feel the destructive patterns of the west dissolving away into a cooperative force fueled with respect and creativity. I see a train filled with infinite possibilities, inspiring a new wave of consciousness, spreading the seed of awakening in it's flowing wake.

This year, 2012, is symbolizing a re-birth, a shedding of skin, and this collection represents my journey deep into myself, emerging a bright new perspective, and echoing the truth of the interconnectedness of everything in this universe.

Self Exposure will bring about questions that only you can answer. Perhaps this work could help de-code your journey, help bring an awareness of your next mission, or reconnect with your own life force. Perhaps this adventure will mark the beginnings of a fresh challenge that requires only you & I, to stop resisting, to let go, and dance… J


>stay tuned... new work will be posted soon<

With doors, windows & portals opening all around, I am EXCITED for this Year!
Feeling the propulsion of time & the desire for reaching out further beyond the thresholds of known ground, time & space
It is a time for TRUTH as we step into the roles we have chosen, and become integral with our thoughts and actions as we listen to our dreams and become ACTIVE and conscious DREAMERS.

Dream big, dream vast… and go deep in prayer as we unite in healing and evolution of ourselves and the planet. There is no better time then NOW…
Breath… Smile… and BE in PEACE

As i sit here in my studio on Rooftopia in downtown Los Angeles i ponder the adventures of the late summer and fall that my ever fascinated self seeks... degree's of sadness and memories of ecstatic joy flood my veins in cocktails of ticklish pleasure and inspiration... the point of soaring alone and removed, above ALL of it - is where i find the most peace... painting sure can take me there... maybe that is why i am so addicted to it...

This new piece 'The Shaman' - is my latest piece, completed for The Moksha Family's 'Art Basel Miami Beach' Art Fair (Dec.3-9)... was super awesome to be apart of this and have my work now recognized in larger circles, we all had an epic time there and look forward to it again next year! there are lots of photo's posted on Facebook from the festival

Am jamming now like mad for a very epic event on the 9th of January in downtown Los Angeles. I will be one of the featured artists at the HIVE Gallery www.hivegallery.com, as well as doing a mural with SHRINE and having a new piece in the GRAND opening of the permanent gallery of THE TEMPLE OF VISIONS -international highly refined visionary art- www.templeofvisions.com

I feel very honored to be apart of these most amazing events
stay tuned for an update on events and shows planned for 2010...

and if you might be interested in prints of mine - am considering putting some images up here thru DA - what do you think?
smiles

have a lovely holiday season with friends and family or in the immaculate amazing company of yourself

Currently i find myself where i'm 'not' suppossed to be, as i've expected myself to be somewhere else... and it is a very odd and free feeling - lofty, clear, spontaneous and fun i'm on my way back to the old country, to vienna to continue, wrap up and begin a few things over the summer months...
There is a clarity that has descended and things are manifesting at hyper-speed... it's a lot to keep up with, but i am constantly reminded to throw away the oars and watch for the signs that are everywhere... As i am looking forward to the commissions, adventures and re-uniting in Europe... also hoping to help Fuchs out with the Apocalyspe Chapel and finish the drapery that i begin oh so many years ago... I am looking forward to returning to Los Angeles and my new found dream space atop a 1912 building in downtown... a true historic artist loft building currently going thru a re-birth. My new space perches up on the roof and has ample space for me to lay the next series of paintings that i have been itching to do... and yes in larger proportions and with goals of some big shows to come... Talks are buzzing for setting up some dates next year for solo shows of the new work... i'll refrain to mention with whom till it actually is solidified
I plan to be in Miami for Art Basel, I am painting the Moksha family symbol and look forward to exhibiting alongside other luminaries during the first week in December. www.mokshafamily.org/

Also I am happy to announce my participation with the HIVE Gallery in LA as one of the featured artists on the front walls opening January 2nd, 2010, in conjunction with the now annual Temple of Visions exhibition at the HIVE and PEACE (a new Yoga/Art Gallery only blocks away from the HIVE).... which hopefully will turn into a larger gathering bringing Visionaries from far and wide to check out the budding downtown LA scene stay tuned for more details thru templeofvisions.com

blessings to all and hope you have a wonderful summer
greetings from the ethers
Amanda
