renadamsart: My more traditional Chinese painting studies make use of the yin zhang chop tradition, which expects the artist to affix a chop or stamp to a work upon completion. The chop marks it as the artist’s own and a mood chop is often used to help impart additional conceptual meaning to the piece itself. As you can see, I have a few different mood chops (the chop markings with symbolic sayings).  The carved stone chop is pressed into a special ink paste, sometimes made from silk fibers mixed with oil and vermilion. Other times, and most commonly, the paste is made from vegetable materials, mixed with oil and pigment.  I got my tin of ink paste in San Francisco Chinatown in 1996 and I am still using it! It lasts forever and is rich and powerful.

“Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.”

“I’m now making myself as scummy as I can. Why? I want to be a poet, and I’m working at turning myself into a seer. You won’t understand any of this, and I’m almost incapable of explaining it to you. The idea is to reach the unknown by the derangement of all the senses. It involves enormous suffering, but one must be strong and be a born poet. It’s really not my fault.”
— Arthur Rimbaud  (via fernsandmoss)
