The Blazing Dew of Stars
With The Blazing Dew of Stars, artist and author David Chaim Smith has given us an expression of ecstatic mysticism in tangible form. It introduces the practice of kabbalistic contemplative alchemy (Iy’yun) by example, through linguistic and graphic constructions. The outer dimensions are intellectual, but its inner life offers an array of subtle resonances which can be unveiled layer after layer, distilling the ‘dew’ of gnostic realization which accumulates with wonder, beauty nd astonishment. An expression of this rare path, The Blazing Dew of Stars stands alone in an age when such things are seldom seen, or experienced.
