                                Biology and color

Each color used in this project will be carefully selected from narure. Bioluminescent animals use tranfer energy into visible light. Each animal emits a different light signature based off of the environment in which it lives. These animals use light to attract, ward off/ defend against and communicate with other animals.

Marine bioluminescent animals use this same prinipal of light communication. Especially deep sea creatures, it is often to dark to see anything that isnt able to light up. This ability was adapted over thousands of years. Red light waves are the first to be filtered out by the ocean followd by blue light rays which disapear at about one thousand meters. I will use this spectrum of red to blue to signify veriing depth of thought using this light scale as a dialogue. Bioluminescent animals produce this “light” during what is called an “excited state”. I have compared this excited to state to a state of enlightenment or realization within a human being. Ofcourse each human being will experience this state in their own unique and individualized way. As such, the subltle light signature that emanates from their intuitve mind will very from person to person. This same principal applies to the way in which a person recognizes anothers communication. It is an open field.  Will update soon!

My collage consists of a collection of images gathered from two full color books containg information about nature, micro-biology and astronomy. The theme that i choice as my opinion is meditation, and its therapy. Their are many different types of meditation, all containg their own natural healing energies. I wanted to translate this through the collage in as coherent a way as possible. The image itself brings elements of earth, sky, space, other worlds and elements of microbiology and birth. The central focus of the image is a progression of energy that starts at the root of a world and rises up towards a potential. A breaking out of the “self” and an intention towards contemplation is suggessted through a floating orbe of light positioned at the crown of the image. Meditate 

Mail art, i must admit this is completly new to me but i apreciate the challenge. This is a photo of me writing some poetry on a piece composed previously by both Chris Walsh and Jenisa Ubben. I cant wait to see all of these when the cluster is finished.

Chris Walsh and myself paint my kitchen floor during an intensly fun decalcamania session.  :)
