Red Perspex squares on LED light pad, each 3mm thick, standing on their edges. When I started these edge-on squares were my least favourite, but the three dimensionality of the image is growing on me.
I couldn't even imaging that I could get a picture for the first module of The Assignment today. I'd planned a different set of pictures for today and there's still time to take them. However, I'm really pleased that I took this picture.

Meditative Studies
Zen for your walls.
Small nature studies.
Quietly created as drawing meditations.
Each one is unique.
Peaceful simplicity. Slow looking. Radiating stillness.
These are delicate and deceptively simple drawings on quality artist's paper. Matted to fit a standard 8x10" frame.
My art explores an ongoing love of nature and celebrates the brighter, calmer, radiant side of life. It is a reminder that the world smiles with possibility.

TULISANES / BANDITS [study], 2010
by Jose Alain Austria
marker and gel ink on paper
approx. 8 x 5 inches
I developed a new sense of fascination for the 19th century Caviteno tulisan [bandit], shadowy figures that were either reviled as criminals or glorified as folk heroes. A good example was the case of Pedro Cuevas of Bacoor who escaped from prison and found himself in Basilan where he became a powerful datu. Such was the power and fascination / or shall I say fear? of the native populace, that 19th century Cavite was nicknamed “Madre de los Ladrones” [Mother of Thieves]. Not a complement at all for my home province, but it somehow nailed the legend of the tulisan—transforming him into an icon of sorts.
The study above is an attempt to incorporate the tulisanes into a figure of personal mytho-poetics: a symbol of my own shadows.I know some people may take it at face value: four indio bandits desecrating a 19th century Philippine altar, carrying with them treasures and expensive santos.
In fact it is also meant to be a dream-like scene utilizing historical figures to express inner realities. To some extent it is an extension of my series on the puer and the theme of initiation rites. In this piece, the puer (symbolized by the child Jesus) is forcibly abducted by four bandits (the quaternio) from the hands of the Great Mother / Goddess archetype (represented in turn by the Virgin’s statue). In this composition the shadowy figures emerging from the unconscious takes the role of the heroes (thus the halos), transforming the puer from a naive boy into a more realistic inner man.
I plan to return to this theme again in the future, this time in lithograph form. But for the meantime this study will do. A month or so of creative rest may yield more insights on the relevance of the tulisanes archetype within my own psyche and the collective unconscious of 19th century Tagalogs. - J.A.A.
