The naming of these rivers reflects broader animistic beliefs in Bhutan, where rivers are not just geographical features but sentient entities - treated with reverence and viewed as instrumental in maintaining harmony between humans and the landscape. In Bhutanese folklore, rivers, springs, and seeps are believed to safeguard valleys and bestow prosperity, protecting fertile lowlands from misfortune if properly treated through rituals, but unleashing ailments or floods if disrespected, such as by pollution.
_
Materials: recycled denim canvas on reclaimed wood, block in reclaimed frake noir wood, variety of ochres and local rocks & minerals
Dimensions: H 99 x W 77 x D 8 cm
When deciding where to display your Earth Painting: seek the light. The natural pigments respond beautifully to shifting light conditions. Morning light offers a crisp, soft glow; evening light brings out the warmth and depth of the pigments. You may therefore notice that the Earth Painting appears in a different 'colour'. Take your time to find a place where you can observe the interplay of light and shadow on the Earth Painting - a place where its textures and colours don’t fall flat.
