This piece was inspired by a gifted Zen teacher, Charlotte Joko Beck. In her book, Everyday Zen - Love & Work, there is a chapter entitled, 'The Razor's Edge." Its title feels a little ominous, but it's meaning is really about the opposite of fear.
It is a point of view which relegates the ego to the sidelines and allows for the self to be fully embedded in life - to be unseparated from whatever life serves up. The Razor's Edge is the precarious balance between what we experience - pain, hardship, struggle, etc. - and to fully embrace it without trying to run away from it. In the end, I think faith ( trusting outcome ) plays a large role.

David Bender is a Brooklyn based artist who studied at Seattle University, the Burnley School of Art, and the New York Academy of Art. Working in painting, sculpture and street art, Bender’s work weaves together remnants of experiences, dreams, thoughts, and events to create meditations on chance. His practice is influenced by his interest in the eastern wisdom traditions, and his works are imbued with a spirituality and a desire to explore the layers of reason, randomness and logic that make up each of our consciousnesses. Bender is the recipient of the Best in Show Award from the Woodstock School of Art Regional Exhibition, the Art Times Award from the Hudson Valley Art Association Invitational and is in the permanent collection of the Brinton Museum.
