BEAUTY: Painting--Jonathan Kent Adams

Jonathan Kent Adams' series THE LAND & ME / DAILY OFFERINGS is a special minimalist statement of place and presence. The artist explains:

"Inspired by my drives through the Mississippi landscape and Catholic iconography, these self portraits explore meditations on space and belonging."

I am moved and intrigued by the idea that the figure in this series is anonymous, roughly in the same spot and position while the world around him changes. It makes me think of the idea of the Axis Mundi, the center of the world, and that we are all, in a way, the center of the universe. Our own awareness and perception is at the center of our essence and we can't help but feel that.
