Wall drawing at Gallery U, Cleveland
Co-Curated by Jeanne Grosetti and Robert Thurmer (Cleveland State University)
A site specific drawing made directly on the walls of the gallery. The drawing itself (made with the use of a spirograph, the 1960's art making device for children) contains thousands of various small circles representing the Buddha as a formless form. The first phase of the drawing was completed in four days, and was continued over a period of 3 months.
In this particular piece, the temporary nature of the work relates to Buddhist concepts of impermanence and non-attachment, referencing the sand mandalas created by Tibetan Buddhist monks which are meticulously created over a short period of time and then swept up and dispersed into a flowing river or stream.
At the completion of the show the Buddha drawing was washed away.

----------------------------------------------------
White House Buddha (Uprising), 2001
Pittsburgh artist, musician and illustrator David Pohl created this piece shortly after September 11. Originally designed to be a sequential animation piece for a website, White House Buddha expresses the need for people to turn inward and toward a path of spirituality in the wake of the terrorist attacks. A popular element in Pohl’s work, the Buddha conveys the artist’s desire to see America chart a course of peace and caution in the aftermath of September 11.
