Nein............das umzusetzen war nicht gerade eine leichte Aufgabe. Wie Energie, Magie, etwas Gestaltloses in einem Bild darstellen?
Vielleicht....., indem man dem Gestaltlosen eine Gestalt gibt? Eine Gestalt, die sich in Orten, in Dingen manifestiert, eine Erscheinung, die man sonst mehr spürt als sieht.

Vielen Dank, Tammie, für dieses große Thema!
Yes.............I admit, I had to investigate first to get the exact meaning of 'numen'. I like the term "presence of an amorphous divine something" best, which describes some magical power that might be inherent in a place, in an object or in natural phenomena.
No..............that wasn't quite an easy challenge to transcript. How to put energy, magic, something shapeless into a drawing?
Maybe.........by giving a shape to the shapeless? A shape, that becomes manifest in places, things, an epiphany, that is usually more felt than seen.

Thanks you so much, Tammie, for this huge theme!
Wow..Gorgeous and magical..what a beautiful face...so serene and captivating and dream-like! Beautiful for the challenge!I enjoyed what you wrote..awesome!
AntwortenLöschenVictoria
such a dreamy wonderful piece you have created!
AntwortenLöschenwhen i came across the word numen, i had to look it up as well. i found it so wonderful to consider... a fine exploration.
Great idea, contemplative and so numen!
AntwortenLöschenthe architect in you (yes, dear, yes!) knew how to solve this, shaping the unshapeable by whispering it to you, and write it in the clouds. now i am half reminded of that woody allen movie, remember, when his mam talks from the clouds, ooh it's a long time ago, and i have forgotten which movie it is. new york stories, perhaps, if that's an allen movie title at all. anyway.
AntwortenLöschenplease! do not doubt your vocation, if anything i have respect for architecture studies! the houses-as-a-theme in my project is really an exercise in looking and drawing and it's been houses for me for a long, long time, but i'll have you know i hate the mathematics involved, and therefore i think you are architecturally BRAVE!
really.

Dear Tania,
AntwortenLöschenwhat a sweet idea to give the shapeless a shape... a male shape?! but, no, wait, it is shifting, its both male and female.
Sometimes in the twilight one can find guises, with shape building before your very eyes and then, try to keep them they disappears... it is energy, it is in the levels, no? You show us here in your work (even in your first pic!)... wonderful!
Schönen Sonntag noch!
xo Ariane.
I really enjoy this process you've made here- layers and finding a shape or form within an ethereal space- very poetic and fitting I think for this challenge- well done!
AntwortenLöschenI konw I should draw more...but don´t find that inspiration....that what one needs to draw....
AntwortenLöschenThis is beautiful Tania! Delicate clouds, delicate lines, delicate feelings so fragile one hopes that a breath does not dissipate the vision and take the internal feeling away with it. I'm holding my breath viewing your art this week. So lovely. Norma, x
AntwortenLöschenAh, Tania! How fascinating, seeing our two quite different takes on virtually the same concept! I love art making in its endless variety and how each artist has her own VOICE!
AntwortenLöschen-sus
...ich kannte Numen auch nicht, aber jetzt mag ich den Begriff sehr (it´s only numen... lalala)
AntwortenLöschenso eine schöne Idee, liebe Tania! So wird hoffentlich auch diese Woche für Dich x Stefanie
the lightness, delicacy of the face, it's there but your eyes can easily shift to the the photos, i love that, that's a wonderful way to show numen, that's how it feels, very fine solution and work dear Tanïa, xx
AntwortenLöschenwow, you really touched me with the drawing! Really beautiful! Last week I wrote a post about my mother, now I see your drawing and I hope that that is possible, that she can see me...like in your drawing. Watching us within light, sky and the see... Thank you!!!!!
AntwortenLöschenVery lovely Tania. Your images remind me of a friend of mine's art. Nick Bantock and his image of Sabine materializing out of ether. (from Griffin and Sabine) Nicely done.
AntwortenLöschenUuuh, Nick Bantock?! You don't know how much I love the Griffin and Sabine stories!! That's an honour! :-)
LöschenWow! I really liked your Numen gazing from the clouds! A lovely idea to use transparent paper! It gives me a dreamy, floating feeling! What I felt from the challenge is, the shapeless is always there in our midst, we just need to tune in to it! Great challenge!
AntwortenLöschenLiebe tania, mit deinem ersten Strahlenhimmelsbild finde ich ist dir die Umsetzung schon überzeugend gelungen, aber die zeichnerische Überlagerung addiert eben noch dieses besondere Numen dazu - mehr als gelunden, kann ich da nur sagen.
AntwortenLöschenLiebe Grüße
Barbara Bee
You did very well, Tania!
AntwortenLöschen(I also should find something about Numen)
I am increasingly convinced that this "presence" is in everything, even in the smallest things
But there is something I do not know yet: We should seek to númen, or númen coming towards us?
I think it's both, Roberto, numen comes towards us, but without eyes open, we'll never see it!
Löschenwow! hast du das toll gemacht!!! da bin ich regelrecht hin und weg. aber warum eigentlich weg? ich bleib noch ein bisschen und lass die magische kraft auf mich wirken. vielleicht hilft sie mir gegen den infekt, der mich grad heftig erfasst hat!
AntwortenLöschenliebe grüße, mano
