[singlepic id=1251 w=150 h=240 float=left]I recently added a Sand Reflection Gallery to the site. I’m enjoying this new “Reflection Medium” which parallels my visionary art photography. Many questions still confound my skeptical mind during the explorations. Are the montages reflecting my Mind? Are these mystical forms, chambers and portals hidden in Nature’s Pattern? Can a creative eye find and map some unseen Collective Unconscious realm through photography art and the computer? By capturing and reflecting Microcosmic shots of this reality; are the reflections revealing a glance into the Macrocosm? Is sacred Geometry a derivative of reflecting nature? Can we tap into telluric currents or the genius loci (local spirit) through this reflection medium?
Heavy research has helped me to make more sense of the artistic visions that I am accessing. What was once created for therapy; my art has become an experimental exploration of growth, knowledge and the unknown. The quote below by Carl Jung soundly resonates with my artistic process.
[singlepic id=1248 w=320 h=240 float=right]“Reflection should be understood not simply as an act of thought, but rather as an attitude. It is a privilege born of human freedom in contradistinction to the compulsion of natural law. As the word itself testifies (reflection means literally: bending back) reflection is a spiritual act that runs counter to the natural process; an act whereby we stop, call something to mind, form a picture, and take up a relation to and come to terms with what we have seen. It should, therefore, be understood as an act of becoming conscious.”
– Carl Gustav Jung, Psychology and Western Religion
