32" x 20" - Acrylic on two canvas panels. The title of this painting suggests that viewers should examine the painting like it is a specimen from an experiment. The concept "art is like an experiment" was central to the artist's process when Lindsey created the collection Reflections of Memories. She invites viewers of her artwork to allow themselves a mindful moment to study each piece because the thought process could improve their mental health. Here's how to view artwork mindfully:
A five-minute meditation - First, observe your breath, notice the feeling of the floor beneath you, focus on the physical sensations and sounds in the present, acknowledge your thoughts and let them go. Then, shift your attention to the artwork. Alternate between using your breath as a focus for mindfulness and using the art to keep exploring the world within it. After five minutes, you might notice how this practice helps you process stressful thoughts, memories, or emotions.
