Learning, Loving and Living with Crystal Spirits…

crystal-spiritsI have been experimenting with photographing crystals for sometime, taking them into Photoshop and exploring many different directions and lighting effects, and at last found a way to create a simple and intimate image that invites one to look into the crystal rather than ‘at it’.

blue-star-glass-creationSacred geometry is the architecture of the universe. The molecules of our DNA, the snow flake, pinecones, flower petals, diamond crystals, the branching of trees, the nautilus shell, the star we spin around, the air we breath, and all life forms as we know them emerge out of timeless geometric codes imbedded in sacred geometry.

Pure drawing assists in choosing realities; it extends choice and offers space. Scale then becomes an issue. Big or small? How much space becomes a psychological, political, and creative issue. Nothing extends in isolation. Imagery is pure, a pure event... drawing pure intimacy.

One cannot always tell what it is that keeps us shut in, confines us, seems to bury us, but still one feels certain barriers, certain gates, certain walls. Is all this imagination, fantasy? I do not think so. And then one asks: My God! Is it for long, is it forever, is it for eternity? Do you know what frees one from this captivity? It is very deep serious affection. Being friends, being brothers [sisters], love, that is what opens the prison by supreme power, by some magic force.
