Clean Slate
combines Dogen's poetry with images of plants he might have seen during
his lifetime while living in Japan. With the support of Kyoto
University and the San Francisco Botanical Garden Library, Marcia was
able to complete research that led to a list of plants that are recorded
to have existed in Japan during the 13th century. She made it her
intention to find and photograph these specimens. The gathering of these
images is not to make a scientific analysis, rather to consider and
imagine what beauty provoked his writing.
Japanese literature is
well populated with descriptions of beauty and imperfection. Marcia's
pictures isolate and render the plant so that it no longer is a member
of a garden, but rather an example, a cue, an object that invites the
viewer. Alone in the garden. Throughout the history of literature there
are inquiries as to where an author lived; what studio setting a painter
worked in; what musical melodies influenced a composer's ater work. Clean Slate brings the rhyme of Dogen together with the glance of things both he and Lieberman might have seen.
Marcia Lieberman is a photographer, author, and academic. Her work has focused on people of note and particular projects driven by an idea or subject that concerns her. Published books include When Divas Confess, and Being Still. During her years of teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, and California College of Art, Oakland, Lieberman lectured on time and space, dwellings, representation of time passing, and the interview as a visual entity. She resides in San Francisco and passes much of her time at the San Francisco Zen Center, where being still is a daily practice. Her interest in temple arts has led her to study the way of tea and altar flower arranging. She recently finished her graduate courses in Buddhist Scholarship at the Institute of Buddhist Studies, Graduate Theological Seminary, University of California, Berkeley. Other contributors include: Taigen Dan Leighton, Reb Anderson, Shohaku Okumura, Michael Wenger, Shinshu Roberts, Florence Caplow.
