In this episode Theresa and I talk about the power of perception, sensation, and the way that abstract painting is the perfect way to express these intangible experiences. We explore the relationship with the outer world and the patterns we find in nature and how they can help us bridge the gap between our inner lives. We talk about sacred geometry in historical painting and how that relates to what we do today, along with the power meditation and yoga practice have over the way we connect with a deeper sense of self. Theresa also talks about her painting practice and her intuitive approach to crafting these dynamic works of art. ------------------ Bio: Theresa Daddezio is an artist and curator based in Brooklyn, NY.
