ART AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR HEALTH
In 2005 Susan Gurnee conducted experiments with what she calls Resonance Art. Trained as a scientific illustrator and trompe-l’oeil artist, she drew on her artistic skill to continue a tradition used by shamans and medicine men to evoke change. The response to her first Resonance Art Exhibition, in Graz, Austria was very positive. Since then, due to the inspired reactions she continued The Body Vital Series. This includes The Heart, The Lung, The Liver, The Reproductive System, The Nervous System, The Brain, The Spleen, The Digestive System, The Bones, The Kidney, The Endocrine System, and The Muscles.
Sue then experimented with paper. Each Body Vital painting was scanned at high resolution and printed using archival inks on acid free rag paper in collector’s quality. The results of this print experiment were astonishing. The vibrations from the painted originals were not lost.
Here are some comments:
“At first I felt nothing. I was busy looking at the colors and the shapes. As soon as I quieted my mind, I felt a bolt of energy surge up my back and my heart chakra expanded. Then I felt warm and slightly light headed. When I think back on the painting, I can get a hint of the same feeling.”
“Each time I look at the painting, it changes…or is it me?!”
“Wow. I started bubbling up with joy and then felt very loving. My feet were warm and I felt peaceful…”
Sue says: “I am thoroughly convinced that these paintings are beneficial beyond their aesthetic merit. A growing number of health hotels and clinics in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Greece permanently display my prints for therapeutic purposes.”
To the right are details of the paintings exhibited since the beginning of the experiment. More will be placed here as the year progresses.
