Finding David Bohm – and Beyond

with Pam Harris

Sunday July 21
9:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 
2-hour session

The session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING.

Pam Harris is a contemporary abstract painter with a special interest in the nature of our existence and its intrinsic connectedness to the universe.  Philosophy, poetry, and science – particularly quantum physics – inform her explorations. She has exhibited in France, the Netherlands, and Italy and her work is held in many private and corporate collections, including the Irish State Collection. 

It has been remarked of Pam’s work, “In the anti-intellectual climate of today, it is refreshing to find an artist who is not afraid to ask the big questions and give them some form of visual reality through painting. Although seeing has been the privileged sense in Western aesthetics, Harris’ art brings the rationalism usually associated with scientific and philosophical concepts into direct contact with aesthetics, the intuitive and deeply emotional.

…Her achievement is to produce paintings that are not only visually compelling using the minimal means of line and colour, but that she also manages to convey the fragility of existence in the Heraclitean flux.”

In this session, Pam will share with us some of her contemplations of scientific and philosophical questions—including those of David Bohm—and how those contemplations translate to canvas. If contemporary abstract painting has eluded you, this is an opportunity to get a first-hand sensibility of how one artist creates such works.
