Golden Sunshine and the Monomyth
🕑 Added 2023-12-28 01:00:02 +0000 UTCAlmost done with my inner landscape piece. I think I'm going to call it "Golden Sunshine." I like that name because it reminds me of when David Lynch used to do the weather report here in LA. He would always say "blue skies and golden sunshine, all along the way."
This piece is hard to take pictures of because there's so many dark areas.
I put out an Art Life and Lives about the Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell.
Published in 1949, the book explores the common patterns and themes found in myths and stories from various cultures throughout history. One of the most enduring ideas in it since its release is Campbell’s idea of the "monomyth" which later evolved into being called the Hero's Journey.
The monomyth is a universal narrative structure shared by diverse cultures throughout history. The specific details will change, and the emphasis placed on different stages of the journey change to reflect the values of cultures, but the broad narrative structure remains.
The hero’s journey resonates not because of who the hero is but because we see ourselves in the hero. We project our ordeals onto the ordeals of the hero. Our deepest ambitions. Our desires to be better and make up for our flaws.
One of Campbell's key insights is the idea that the hero's journey is a metaphor for personal growth, transformation, and the search for meaning. The hero faces challenges, confronts inner and outer conflicts, and ultimately undergoes a profound transformation, emerging stronger and wiser.
Here's some stuff to check out:
The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell
As I say in the video, the book itself is pretty dense and I had a difficult time getting through it.
Check out the documentary series called the Power of Myth for a more accessible version of these ideas.
The conversations with Campbell and Moyers from the Power of Myth was also turned into a book
Happy December 27th Everybody
Today I edited the last video of the year.
I finished my Led Zeppelin book last night.
I'm going to try and work on this sculpture project that I've been putting off for a while.
Have Fun
goodnight
