41:32
Will these be on the Twitter page as well?

41:45
We can do that, sure!

41:58
Thanks!

42:50
love Jason’s work!

42:58
beautiful.

43:44
Thank you.

43:46
Color is so much more emotive! Interesting that most have concrete names though are abstract artwork

43:54
No. the contrast of colors evokes a sense of vitality for me.

44:06
I always prefer color!

44:17
These are stunning!

44:43
really talented...

44:56
I am a big fan of grey scale and black-and-white, but in these the colors pull your eye and command your attention.

45:06
I love the pour it all in title—we put our hearts and souls into our work and we change lives. That grouping speaks to me a lot.

46:13
Marie's work elicits a range of emotions for me. i don't know what her feelings were when creating, but the top middle expresses anger to me while the bottom middle reflects a sense of calm

46:18
The "thin red line" is interesting as the line is dominant, and thus, makes me think that this might be a kind of macro image.

46:55
The middle river in Three Rivers in Copper reminds me of a bird's-eye view of the Colorado River.

47:08
I'd like to hear more about Three Rivers in Copper

47:25
Thank you for sharing that, Marie!

47:46
It's been a great pastime to allow my mind to escape during the pandemic. Self-quarantine is alright in terms of staying safe, but the mind needs to escape from time to time.

47:46
Great work Marie

48:02
Please mute your microphones!

48:24
love shades of green and teal in jasons work

48:31
I love the colors in Cook's St, Patty's Scene

48:50
As a geology fan, I love the "Three Rivers"

48:51
thanks for sharing, Marie!

48:58
Thin Red Line was actually a happy accident. The red was poured first with other colors around it. Once dry, the whole piece was covered with resin to protect the surface and give it a shiny look.

49:13
Marie, I like what you said about having to let go of perfection and control in making your work. Beauty in imperfection!

49:50
reminds me of a row of burning matchsticks.. beatiful

50:07
If I turn my head on its side, Bead Swipe reminds me of the sliding-filament theory of muscle contraction.

50:40
Thin Red Line remind me of looking a a vein of oxygenated blood.

50:48
Beautiful!

50:50
*reminds

51:11
The bead swipe reminds me of floral collections

52:43
I love the variety in Marie's work--they have "family resemblance" but each have their own personality.

54:02
Nah, I'm good ;-)

54:16
cant hear audio

54:31
im good

54:55
very nice.

57:35
I see complexity

58:11
The more I look at the Woman in the Wind, the more I see. I see *her*; I feel the motion of it.

58:12
A lot of emotion in the mother's face - love, concern, peace - all at the same time

58:20
in mother and child, i see worry for her child

58:22
I have 3 girls and I see their hair blowing in the wind in the abstract one

58:54
I sense a connection to humanity

01:00:22
I can't stop looking at "mother and child". Very intimate and feel like I'm looking at a real bonding moment. Comfort and love.

01:00:54
in the woman and the wind I could reflect back to some Japanese prints I have seen before in exhibits. I just don't recall the Japanese artist's name

01:00:56
I think we all have layers to ourselves and the more challenged we fill the more layers we add changing how we are percieved by others

01:01:09
much like the layers in each of these paintings

01:01:19
Mother and Child really speaks to me. It reminds me of holding my child for the first time and all of the HUGE emotions I felt at that time.

01:01:30
I make sure not to wear my ripped jeans to work

01:01:31
Of course, Einstein is more than just a person unto himself; he represents science and genius itself. But as a cultural icon, he has become a caricature, but I get no sense of that here. He seems genuine.

01:01:37
Yes, I was thinking that regarding the pandemic--facial expression as a form of connection and intimacy. Something we are missing in a way right now, but intentionally making up for in other ways of connecting.

01:02:48
Please double check and mute your mics.

01:04:04
Yes :-)

01:05:36
Jason, I love the imagery in your poem.

01:05:45
Lovely poem

01:05:46
Got dusty in my office. Excellent.

01:06:22
Lovely sentiments, Jason. Thank you for sharing your poem.

01:06:22
Very powerful poem

01:07:04
colors are very calming but also lively

01:07:15
feeling of being either surrounded or under water

01:07:17
or 'alive'

01:07:18
lots of movement

01:07:30
the colors and patterns suggest movement and flow

01:07:30
organic in Anne's.

01:07:42
Marissa's reminds me of a jazz scene

01:07:46
Spectrum of peaceful to energetic; less movement to more movement

01:07:55
marissa’s piece reminds me of underwater flora

01:08:00
"Together" is almost monochrome, which accentuates the reflection of light on the water, and brings "together" the ducks in their contrast.

01:08:09
Lots of blue colors make me think of water. Aura makes me think of piano keys under the sea caught up in seaweed.

01:08:15
Blue is usually a calming color for me. As such the Crater Lake photo is very tranquil to me. However, the blue in Aura feels frenzied - not calm.

01:08:21
Blue seems to be a theme in most of these except for "together" but all of the colors seem to flow

01:08:30
Gohar, love the ripples.

01:08:30
like time

01:08:32
The pond and crater lake are calming, crater lake- connected to expanse and make me feel very miniscule

01:08:40
like a jazz scene - like a Stuart Davis painting!

01:08:58
The blue in "Aura" adds a calming element to the really lively and active underlying colors and patterns.

01:08:59
Aura is beautiful chaos, contrast between colors follows contrast in shapes and layering

01:09:11
The clouds, the water, and the colors reminiscent of water bring my mind back to the poem. I became very emotional during the reading of the poem because it made me imagine my grandmother who turn 96 on the 26th, and I am always reminded of how frequently I want to spend time with her since I know her time is limited.

01:09:58
The photo of Crater Lake National Park is awe inspiring. Reminds me that humans are miniscule and should strive to coexist vs control nature. What (if any) software was used to enhance the photo?

01:10:07
Dr. Gohar just joined if she wants to speak

01:11:02
No software enhancement on the photo.

01:11:09
All of the artists have statements about their work on our Facebook page!!!

01:11:35
The longer I look at Marissa's painting (to Angie's comment) I feel like I can see "behind" the lines, as if they are covering something in the background and overwhelming the background (like a migraine)

01:11:36
the water masses are photographs photograph-like

01:12:11
The organizing team has done an excellent job grouping these works into themes.

01:13:23
It's interesting that Marissa's is the only picture with the wave going upwards versus the left to right flow of the others.

01:14:17
I feel a certain stillness and calm looking at the ducks in Azhar's work despite the unstilless in the waves lapping around A good metaphor for what people should aim for in this COVID pandemic.

01:14:45
Jason’s juxtaposition of a singular day observing a pond transitioning into the imagery of floating in the sheets during end of life was powerful for me. I’ve recently lost two loved ones, and these word pictures are powerful reminders of the instances that catch you by surprise to make these connections between memories and emotions.

01:15:32
Thank you, Kat. This is one of my favorites. :)

01:17:16
Heart-wrenching.

01:17:21
thank you - that was really powerful!

01:17:37
That last poem was very strong.

01:20:43
I hate reading poetry. I can't "hear" it for what it says (on the surface and below). But hearing all these pomes read changes it. I am engulfed, and they move me and I *see* them as well as hear them.

01:22:15
Aparna's poem gave me a heavy feeling in my chest. The other poem and pictures seem to make the pressure even heavier.

01:22:17
Edgar, that was definitely a tough challenge of introspection for all of us. Well done.

01:22:40
This grouping seems to reflect the sadness in society and the times where we see the world as monochrome

01:22:48
This grouping is heavier, but I appreciate the focus on negative emotions that we often shy away from

01:22:55
I'm really drawn in by "Tree Rain & I" - I just want to look at it and ponder for a while.

01:23:09
Ditto Catherine.

01:23:34
In Edgar’s poem, it’s interesting the title is about difference and yet commonality starts every line

01:23:36
wow, all four of these pieces are so powerful. "heavy" is a great descriptor. but i like how these encourage us to help carry that "heaviness"

01:23:54
The tree is distorted by rain, but we *know* what it is, and it makes this hopeful--that through the rain we still can make out life.

01:24:00
I agree! I can’t decide if I want to watch until it resolves or get even more blurred by it.

01:24:05
I love in "Winter is Coming" the use of hyperrealism. The chap and lines in the bottom lip are the remains of a recent smile that is faded.

01:24:35
Interesting how black and white seem to give more depth

01:24:50
Agree about "Tree Rain & I"

01:24:51
I love the allusion to George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series with the character John Snow depicted. I love the forlorn look, the despondence of knowing the "winter" and the "dark night" of the soul.

01:28:08
the wool heart looks stylized but surprisingly realistic - captures texture & depth

01:28:19
The texture on the heart (wool) plus the vibrant colors makes that such a stunning piece—so alive.

01:28:45
Expressionism leaves more room for metaphor, I think.

01:28:49
I see a sense of both expressionism and realism in all of these.

01:28:54
The heart seems to glow from inside - it has a warmth to it

01:28:54
Expressionism seems to allow more room for your interpretation, but that may be illusion, as realism never just lays bare its meaning.

01:29:00
Into the light takes you into the depths of your soul!

01:29:19
I wish I could see "Lemmings" in more detail, it's a beautiful piece.

01:29:40
we should have an exhibit.

01:30:02
Laura Brook's discussion of "Lemmings" on the FB page really makes me look at it in a different way

01:30:14
different impact

01:30:14
Micah, I agree.

01:30:30
Every media has a different impact

01:31:06
I don't think a different medium would convey the pictures as well as they are currently

01:31:12
I love Catherine's "Columbarium". Big fan of line in both poetry and visual art--and there is great use here.

01:31:23
These all seem to also represent life and death

01:31:42
I am particularly taken by the use of wool since it is an unusual medium to pain on. It gives texture to the heart that it would not have on canvas.

01:31:45
Thank you Jason!

01:32:08
Laura, Lemmings is gorgeous and I love the story behind it.

01:32:14
Heart is the life -- house and then leaving the "house" towards the "light"

01:32:51
The heart represents feelings, home, connection, and comfort...in which all these can be seen

01:34:19
material objects "house and necklace" in between

01:34:30
I like how life and death are both represented in Catherine's piece, it's beautiful

01:39:50
I love Fitz’s piece, not lit up it still casts shadows and catches the eye. And lit up in so many different colors give it such a flexibility of emotion. Like people.

01:39:58
The visualization of math -- obvious in Dual Tetrahedral but arguably in all three visual art pieces.

01:40:33
Great reference to William Carlos Williams - himself a physician by trade

01:41:03
Beautiful texture on the ornament - and the details are so delicately done

01:41:12
Like Angie, I too now will see objects around the hospital differently--the IV pole, the stretcher in the corner.

01:42:24
I agree with you, Angie, that the juxtaposition of the miraculous staircase and dual tetrahedral evokes bending against will

01:42:52
TI m absorbed by the "twisting" of the objects, the curve of the ornament.

01:43:09
There is so much to look at in Carrie's piece. The composition of light and dark, the richness of the whole thing. It really draws the eye.

01:43:28
Hi everyone. I did the ornament. And it's really quite a small piece. The size of it on my monitor is larger than it is in actuality!

01:43:29
Spirals always remind me of cochleae in the inner ears. With each turn, you are led ever more deeply into complexity--complexity that is both heard and unheard.

01:44:34
Artists aren't talkers. :D

01:44:47
lol

01:45:24
thank you for hosting this event! It’s exciting to see all of this wonderful work and chat together

01:45:26
Question for Carrie - what brought you to visit the location where your photo was taken?

01:45:56
Yes, thanks to the artists for sharing. Wonderful!

01:45:58
Really appreciate this break from our normal day! Much needed! I found all of the pieces very powerful and moving.

01:46:05
Yes, thank you for hosting this! :)

01:46:26
some great talented people

01:46:43
Yes, thank you all for pulling this event together. So great to find creative ways to innovate and connect right now.

01:46:46
Carrie has more info on the staircase on our Facebook page!

01:47:16
Yes, still writing some.

01:47:36
I have only created one piece since the pandemic.

01:47:42
A little --

01:47:49
It's changed the way I purchase materials for my artwork. Most of my materials are now purchased online.

01:47:53
dual tetrahedral was supposed to have a water feature, but i'll have to go bigger to fit the lines

01:47:55
I have not done anything since the pandemic

01:48:06
I'm doing less - everything else is busier!

01:48:07
A little is the key word for me. It has inspired me to write some.

01:48:39
I wish writing poetry could be part of FTE, lol.

01:48:51
There is ART in every moment!

01:48:56
I haven't acted on it but I have several ideas I want to get on canvas.

01:49:23
Same Shannon! It's inspiring ideas, but I haven't had the time yet.

01:49:26
I have a feeling when this is all said and done, many new and intimate works of art will come to life.

01:49:50
Lindsey, yes! It has taken me so long to embrace that.

01:50:00
Very good point about just jumping in.

01:50:24
Honestly my best work comes from just jumping in.

01:50:57
Micah's piece does look like fun!!!

01:51:49
I’m wondering if we might explore opportunities to support a professional wellness activity focused on expression through art - particularly during this stressful time. Free writing, painting, etc.

01:52:01
it’s hard to wait for inspiration in times like this; but seeking it out is a challenge, too. I encourage everyone to be okay with a creative act being very small.

01:52:08
Integrative medicine!

01:52:18
Kat you know I'm!!

01:52:23
I'm in!

01:52:34
I ditto Kat Neill's comment. I am certainly on board.

01:52:46
me, too!

01:53:12
Shall we start that faculty interest group, lol?

01:53:23
Good idea

01:53:24
We have reflective opportunity with mindfulness sessions. I would love opportunity to reflect and express through some type of artistic outlet.

01:53:37
Great idea, Kat.

01:53:45
What a great idea. Writing helps me process things.

01:55:22
I joined the meeting very late. Is there a recording of this meeting?

01:55:40
Yes, we are recording and will post it to our IPE website!

01:56:39
Thank you so very much!

01:56:59
Yes, Micah!!! Artistic expression is a wonderful therapeutic tool. Natural opportunity for professional wellness support.

01:57:52
Excellent point about the masks

01:58:34
I agree. I've actually seen some clear masks recently developed, but I don't know how they work in practice (fogging etc).

02:00:24
Wonderful session!! Thank you to our experts and our talented artists for sharing yourselves!!!

02:00:28
Thank you all!!!

02:00:29
Thanks so much for organizing this!!

02:00:36
Thank you so much for giving us artists a place to share our art with everyone!

02:00:36
Thanks all!

02:00:36
Thank you all!!

02:00:44
Thanks!

02:00:47
Thank you!
