Mountain/Mandala 3
2003 |
','Image'))
|
| One of the meanings of a mountain in Chinese traditional painting is as a symbol of a journey. Beginning at the base of the mountain, we perceive different levels of information as we ascend and our perspective changes. The peak is obscured by clouds because we can’t see the end yet - it is the higher level of spiritual awareness.
The three primary colors of light, yellow, cyan and magenta, color the three interior circles, making this painting a kind of color diagram. Coming out from the center of the painting, a pyramid, is the abstracted form of a mountain. Each side is colored with a tinted secondary color (violet, orange, green), reaching toward white.

Golden Mean/Mandala 5
2004 |
','Image'))
|
| This explores the proportion known as the golden mean, mathematically expressed as 1 : 2.18. It occurs in pentagons and pentagrams, and has cropped up in measurements of ancient human structures like Egyptian pyramids. This pleasing proportion has a long history in our cultural heritage in architecture and art. The landscapes in the paintings are "golden mean rectangles," and the horizon line divides the space again along the golden mean. Each landscape has the same composition but a different time and light.
Another five in this one is the musical fifth, a bright, strong and stable interval. I thought about a combination of colors to express this sound and came up with the contrast of rich gold and indigo-violet. And the human five-fingered hand (a portrait of my painting hand) expresses both receptivity and caution.

Color Wheel/Mandala 6
2005 |
)
|
| From the ongoing Mandala Series -
Since Sir Isaac Newton played with light refraction and recognized a spectrum, he and many other theorists have arranged colors on a circular chart to explain their relationships. The German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, also a color theorist, drew a circle of interlocking equilateral triangles (1792) with 6 points in the sequence red-orange-yellow-green-blue-purple.
Many sixes are referred to here: the six-pointed star, the six circles that fit around one center (try this with coins - it is the only way they fit), the six legs of the insect world, the remarkable tessellating hexagonal structure that forms beehives, and hexagonal crystals. The two figures fit inside the vesica pisces formed by overlapping circles. See if you can imagine the rest of two tangential circles that overlap the central one to create the pointed oval shapes.
The winged figures/angels symbolize male and female elements in balance. This is also, by the way, an interpretation of the six-pointed star symbol. They contemplate the enigma of the burning six-sided snow crystal.

Spectrum/Mandala 7
2005 |
','Image'))
|
| The seven-stepped spectral sequence identified by Newton, red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-violet, is a way that energy is organized. Long after his first musings on optics, the science of spectroscopy has shown us that every element has a unique spectral \\\"fingerprint\\\" and has allowed us to identify elements on distant planets by reading their color identity. The spectral sequence has been identified with such diverse phenomena the life-cycle of a star, and the structure of the atom.
The seven steps in the journey of the spirit occurs in many spiritual traditions and correspond with this sequence. The central figure is colored with a spectrum that indicates the chakras, or energy centers in the body, progressing from red at the base of the spine, to violet at the crown of the skull.
I was also thinking about the ancient Greek goddess Iris, who was identified with the rainbow. Iris, the female counterpart to Mercury, traveled along the rainbow to deliver messages from the Queen of the Gods to man. Walking along this spectral bridge she created a connection between heaven and earth.
This painting has the sound of a gong being struck.

| 教育程度与个人自传 | |
| Reeber grew up in Westchester County, New York and first studied art in New York City. She went on to study painting, art history, and languages at Tufts University and at the Eberhard-Karls University in Tuebingen, Germany. She extended her residency in Europe for several years, working, studying and exhibiting her art. During her travels in the Far East she was invited to Tokyo and granted access to one of the major private collections of historical Japanese screen paintings to study the design of traditional Japanese painting on silk. In addition to studio work, Reeber is on the faculty of Benedictine College (Atchison, Kansas) and the Carnegie Arts Center(Leavenworth, Kansas). She and her husband, the author Frederick Chiaventone, now live with their children near Kansas City, Missouri.
