Collection: The Study of One Thing

Jody Hojin Kimmel currently serves as the Abbot of the Zen Center of New York City/Fire Lotus Temple in Brooklyn, New York, and as Training Director for the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism. “The Study of One Thing” represents nearly four decades of Hojin’s art-making practice, from the first time she encountered Zen to the present day, and includes paintings, watercolors, drawings, ceramics and multimedia works, as well as pieces by her workshop students.

“When I was little, I loved to draw and paint in the darkness of my bedroom,” Hojin said. “From my bed, I could see a slice of light — from the moon or from the hall light — illuminating the edge of some form. Some ‘thing.’ I was fascinated by the sudden strangeness of things, alive and pulsating with unfamiliarity — constantly changing! What a wonder.”

The exhibition will be on view through July 31, 2026.
