Living with the perennial questions: who are we? Where are we going? What are the principles of manifestation? The latest science points to Plato being right. All natural forms are energy made visible. My project process is about the art of placement. Nothing is physically attached to anything, yet it is all interconnected energetically (the threads) and it changes endlessly through interaction with sunlight coming through the window. Light is the source of existence and from its emanation, structures and patterns occur governed by geometric forms and principles symbolizing the elements of earth, water, fire, air and space. My art project flows from the light column to the centre column of geometric forms and from there into manifestation, into the trees column, symbolic of life in many cultures and esoteric systems. The light emanates from the 6 pentagonal facets of the dodecahedron, the quintessence, within a sea of indigo vastness, and returns continuously. This project was fascinating, working from external parameters, choosing which ones I would develop. Also, having an on-line exhibition with a bunch of mysterious artists is just great fun. It feels a bit like a version of my project. Contact Information
