Synopsis:
Is contemporary art undermining the sacred roots of human culture? Is art meant for a noble purpose, greater self-knowledge, and entry to a deeper dimension of life? In sharp, streetwise language, this artist, a skateboarding punk meditator, presents practical ways serious artists can use their lives to develop greater clarity, dignity, generosity, and insight. He discusses: how generosity transforms the artist's natural isolation; how creative people subconsciously sabotage their success; how unrecognised self-indulgence obstructs creativity; how artists can use meditation to deepen insight and creativity; shamanistic and sacred visionary traditions as sources of creative power; and the consequences of manipulating creativity.
About the Author: Bandhu Dunham is an internationally-recognized glass artist. After Princeton, he apprenticed under American and European masters at Urban Glass, the Pilchuck Glass School and the Penland School of Crafts. Since 1975, he has also been a practitioner of meditation, as well as the editor of two small magazines on spiritual life and punk culture.
