IF • Swarm

March 1, 2011 · 1 Comment

In talking about flocks of bird and schools of fish… The swarm …moments when creatures lock themselves into a group "soul" letting go of their particular desires and needs as individual creatures and becoming one body with a transcendent intelligence directing them, creating patterns of motion so complex that they seem to have been choreographed from above.
~ (p. 90) The Creative Life, by Eric Butterworth

• fused glass – illustration printed as an archival pigment print, 100% rag paper

Infinite Mind —everywhere present–is the highest frequency of energy, in which all things exist as complete. When you see the creative process clearly, your ideas will get synchronized with energy of the same frequency, multiplying in like kind. This is the swarming process. (pp. 88-89) The Creative Life, by Eric Butterworth

A staple in the Southern diet for over 300 years, black-eyed peas have long been associated with good luck. A dish of peas or lentils is a New Year's tradition in most areas, bringing good luck and prosperity for this New Year 2011.

Magnificent!

December 6, 2010 · 1 Comment

Precious is the breath of little rose drops
all exploding under the soft canopy of pink clouds
and forever being embraced by the wings of a rooted forest…

…an exquisitely framed moment within the interlocking dance of life!

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
