Remembering and Sharing<\/a>, or CRS, is an organization devoted to supporting and teaching healing arts and creative arts.\u00a0 Their studios near Union Square in Manhattan host dance and yoga classes, bodywork sessions, film screenings, performances (music, dance and theater), and meditation and energy healing circles.\u00a0 I got involved with CRS several years ago because their excellent performing arts program, directed by Christopher Pelham, is one of a handful of organizations (along with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cavearts.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cave<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japansociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Japan Society<\/a>) regularly presenting \u00a0butoh dance, the experimental Japanese performance art that grows out of the work of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3xYsO7OpQkQ\" target=\"_blank\">Tatsumi Hijikata<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/06\/ohno-oh-yes\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kazuo Ohno<\/a>.\u00a0 I first studied butoh in 1992 (in a workshop at <a href=\"http:\/\/lamama.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">La MaMa Experimental Theatre<\/a> with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Lb7nSr8BnGs\" target=\"_blank\">Yoko Ashikawa<\/a>), and have performed and collaborated with many butoh artists since then.\u00a0 On several occasions I was involved in events at CRS, as a <a href=\"http:\/\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/2009\/07\/11\/shadows\/\" target=\"_blank\">performer<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/2009\/05\/01\/blind-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a> or light artist, or performance videographer.\u00a0 Through those events I got to know <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crsny.org\/about-christopher-pelham\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Pelham<\/a> and CRS\u2019s founder <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crsny.org\/instructor\/yasuko-kasaki\" target=\"_blank\">Yasuko Kasaki<\/a>, and in 2010 they invited me to exhibit my artwork at CRS. \u00a0Last year I blogged about it as an <a href=\"http:\/\/fredhatt.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/23\/healing-hands-at-crs\/\" target=\"_blank\">upcoming show<\/a> and posted a <a

Practitioners use visualizations, focused breathing, and meditative mental states to channel and direct energy, much as yogis or martial artists do.\u00a0 I thought this would be an interesting

conducted in Japanese, which I don\u2019t understand, so my memory could be wrong in some details, but I think all the healing sessions began with guided and silent meditation.\u00a0 I believe there was some private speaking between each healer and his or her receiver.\u00a0 The person receiving healing would sit meditating in a chair, while the healer would move around them, not touching them, but directing the hands towards various parts of the person\u2019s body as though beaming heat waves at them.\u00a0 Often the healer would raise one hand towards the sky, connecting to universal energy or Holy Spirit, and face the other hand towards the receiver.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3272\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

body, as though smoothing fabric or combing hair in the air around the receiver.\u00a0 In this drawing, instead of depicting the healers, I drew the paths of the movements of their hands around the

myself to see through that illusion, to make the unified field of reality not just an intellectual understanding, but a lived experience. \u00a0It seemed to me that our default mode of interpreting sensory input is the most powerful impediment to getting the deeper reality of what we know, and that a practice of honing perception might be a fruitful path. \u00a0My visual art practices are about learning to see the world in a way that I believe is truer than the default way, and about communicating that vision to others. \u00a0To put it simply, I try to perceive physical things, especially the human form, as patterns of energy, rather than as objects.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3263\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

intuition heightened by imagination &#8211; that&#8217;s what some who claim to teach clairvoyance seem to be describing. \u00a0I don&#8217;t know, because I don&#8217;t perceive that way, though intuitive imagination is a fundamental aspect of art, mine as much as anyone else&#8217;s, and you can see that in these examples especially in the backgrounds, which are essentially imaginative

elements of the real background come into it. \u00a0In the drawing above, the river of color underneath the hands contains some forms derived from the wrinkles in the pants of the model, whose hands were resting on her thighs. \u00a0More often in these drawings, the backgrounds are made by echoing and extending curves in the subject, making a pattern that derives from the hands but also tries to express something of the intuitive feeling I get from the individual who is posing for me. \u00a0This aspect of these drawings really is the imaginative projection I discussed above, but it takes place strictly on the paper &#8211; it&#8217;s not something I could see without drawing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3268\" style=\"width: 456px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

possible to direct perception of the subject, while treating the pictorial background as a projected abstraction, remains a form of separating objects, and therefore does not achieve the vision of unity I described as my ideal. \u00a0Alas, my practice doesn&#8217;t quite meet my goal. \u00a0It&#8217;s just the best I&#8217;ve been able to do so far in depicting the body as a pattern of energy,
