🌀 Agnes Martin - My Rabbit Hole of Exploration
This is where my journey with Agnes Martin begins - chapter 4, part 3 of A Simpler Life titled “voluntary poverty”.
The first time I read this, I was at a loss for words. How can someone live like this? I suppose a better question is, what did Agnes Martin realize or see that most of us don’t? Somehow, she was able to see that these fleeting forms of pleasure don’t bring happiness anyway, like Rupert (Spira) says.
Something else fulfilled her and it wasn’t to be found in acquiring material objects.
Personally, I know these things don’t bring happiness, certainly not in and of themselves. I’ve known this for years yet I still fall back into these cycles of materialistic consumption. I must pay more attention to the moment that my awareness shifts from the internal to external.
When in her life did Agnes Martin discover her passion for painting?
It’s not that sexy new PM tool. That’s a shiny object, distracting you from the real problem.
It starts with process and people, and you support that with tools. The simpler, the better.

Cut a chrysalis open and you will find a rotting caterpillar. What you will never find is that mythical creature, half caterpillar, half butterfly… No, the process of transformation consists almost entirely of decay.
