There is a site, ” Christian Art”, out of the UK , that I ‘post’ on … that featured your “Go, on Adam, Breath” piece today.
I posted back to another poster “Marie”
“Marie Blessed Advent
So nice to meet you on the ‘back-page’. I always feel a li’l joy when I ‘get on page “2” – like we have our own li’l community of namelessness back here. (… one of my favorite films: “My Name is Nobody”).
I too have been so enthralled by Mr. Baumartner. I, like yourself, have been compelled to ‘search him out on line.’ – and ‘invest’ a little. I found a site where he is being interviewed on a specific piece with a bit of a bio: “Farmer and artist Jack Baumgartner shows off ‘The Fourth Vision of Zecharia” – with live recordings, … one can tell much from a person’s voice. ( I especially liked the note: ‘ … he and his wife … and FIVE children). And … it has occurred to me that his farm/ Rose Hill Ak. could easily be ‘on route’ for my travels this spring.
At first I thought there was a typo in Fr P’s titling of the work. “Go on Adam, Breathe”: ‘ hmmmmm, surely it is supposed to be ‘God on Adam, Breathed.’ – and this also prompted me a quick on-line check. But, together with your “feel myself relax”, I’m able to read the piece as: ‘ GO …. to one’s primordial ‘Being’ rooted in God … as He Breaths His Holy Spirit into us, each day, each moment, in every circumstance … and BREEEEEEEATHE in His Peace.’
Fr. Patrick has so well chosen today’s art piece re: the Gospel. As we are journeying towards the ‘Coming of Christ’ in the Advent season, it is such a matter of: ‘passive-going’, active-rest, a work of gentle and lowly preparation. For Jack, who apparently loves to farm with “heirloom machinery”, the idea of ‘an easy yoke’ is not so foreign presumably – Vs. ‘us’ under the heavy, often painful yoke of modernism. Is it not in confessing this ironic oxymoron, that we begin to understand the process of ‘God birthing/breathing Himself into the cradle of our own Hearts?
I hope to somehow contact Baumartner and even put him onto C A. I love that he’s superimposed on the black & white of the universe the BLUE’ of: the planet Earth, the Breath of God, the water of Baptism, the tears of God (note), the mantle of BVM the Theotokos, and the Wind of the Holy Spirit animating all things. “
