Six Realms (for Peter Lieberson) - Limited Edition of 4 Photograph

An homage to abstract composer and Buddhist practitioner, Peter Lieberson (1946-2011). Of his concerto, "Six Realms," Lieberson states: "The six realms described in Buddhism are a highly detailed portrait of our human consciousness. These are the God realm, the jealous God realm, the human realm, the animal realm, the hungry ghost realm and the hell realm. In some explanations these are actual places, inhabited by beings not seen by the human eye. These two viewpoints need not be seen as one more literal and the other more fanciful, because when a realm is fully manifest within our consciousness, whether it exists as an actual place or not is somewhat irrelevant. Each of the realms is associated with a particular emotion: anger with the hell realm, immense neediness with the hungry ghost realm, jealousy with the jealous God realm, and ignorance with the God realm, but a different kind of ignorance than found in the animal realm, a blissful kind of ignorance and smug self-satisfaction." Six individual, time-lapse photographs of trains, digitally manipulated in painterly "realm" form. A contemporary abstract expression. Brooklyn and Manhattan. Edition of 4 + 1 A/P and 1 P/P.
