Visitors' Gallery

The Webstudio is about collaboration. About a communal art process. Naturally, it has major limitations. Among them is the inability to clearly "see" the visual contributions made by individuals to the group art work. This gallery aims at showcasing those images that have been scanned and e-mailed to the WebStudio as part of the Love Painting process.

During the month of April, the WebStudio received the image below for posting in the participants' gallery. Images (and text) on love will continue to be exhibited in this space. If you are interested in contributing, please:

1. Read through the Log Sessions of the Love Painting and through the articles posted in the Discussion Forum on Love. This will help familiarize yourself with the process.

2. Create or select drawings, photographs, handwritten notes, and other images that express your concept of love.

3. Scan it, and e-mail it to: webstudio@cortada.com. Feel free to add comment and let us know if you want to credit you with your contribution, or want to post your e-mail address.

During April 1999, participants were asked to consider "Love" as the topic of the WebStudio project.

"How we interact with our life-partners: Intimacy in our personal relationships."

How does one begin to paint love? What is love? Is it like a math formula, with transitive properties (i.e.: if A = B, and B = C, then does A = C?). Or is it more like the laws of thermodynamics (energy can neither be created nor destroyed)? Does the Bible give us guidance ( 1 Corinthians 13:4)? Must it adapt? Must it be unconditional? Must it be eternal? Does it turn into hurt or hate, or is that something all together different? Is it intimate? What does that mean? Is it a process, something we share with our life partners? With others? Love, can it be defined, painted? Should we? Why?
