Visions of Hildegard

Arrays of form. The pen plotted "Visions of Hildegarde" invite meditation through arrays of improvisation. Each vision, one more improvisation in the seemingly countless array of possibles, points to the manner in which the limits of the drawing procedure, like life, are unknowable.

Hildegarde� of� Bingen (1098-1179), a medieval theologian and mystic organized her� major prophetic work,� Scivias, around 26 visions divided in three parts (6,7,13). Her work includes hymns composed with chant notation that� appeal to the�human spirit and the search for spiritual fulfillment.

Two of� Hildegard's� hymns in Latin and English with links to source manuscripts with chant notation may be found at:�� http://www.irupert.com/ HILDEGRD/hildetext.htm. For a Hildegard biographical see: http://www.newadvent.org/ cathen/07351a.htm
