“…Painted larger than life, a meticulously rendered bejeweled lotus blossom takes center stage in Tom Wudl’s Radiance of Sublime Reality Filling the Cosmos without End (2015). Drawing inspiration from the Buddhist Avatamsaka Sutra (The Flower Ornament Patrick Martinez, Monterey Park / East LA Bougainvillea (2023) Petah Coyne, Untitled #1538 (Ruth Bader Ginsberg) (2021 – 2023) 6 Scripture), Wudl merges aesthetics and mysticism by employing formal conventions to visually represent the interconnectivity and interdependence of all things within a cosmos of infinite realms. The flower symbolizes all that is beautiful within a universe of potential. Tsherin Sherpa also draws from the floral motif to symbolize instability as he examines issues of preservation and transformation of a scattered culture.” .- Elizabeth East, LA Louver
