Number six. The Hexad’s principle indicates efficient structure, function and order. Every whole event occurs at the intersection of these three aspects.

The fourth painting in my exploration of the nature of numbers.

In geometry, three points define a flat surface. The fourth point defines depth, volume, and 3-dimensional space.  Alchemy describes these four points as the four elements: air, fire, water and earth.

The Triad balances the contrasting forces in nature allowing for creation to spring forth. It invites unlimited perspective and possibilities, infinite shades of gray between the polar extremes.

The Dyad describes duality and is born out of the Monad, or number one, in  replication of itself. The resulting geometry is called the Vesica Pisces, the shape which gives birth to every other form. “Two” embodies the nature of polarity: night/day, male/female, heaven/earth, on/off.

On view at Ghost Gallery through December 4th. Purchase inquiries may be directed to [email protected].

“My End is My Beginning” is the first painting in my series of work which explores the nature of numbers. The number one, or the Monad, contains the essence of the seed, the idea, nucleus and origin. It is the black void preceding creation. The ouroboros, or snake biting its tail, is an ancient symbol which represents the infinite constant cycles in nature, introspection and the eternal return.

My solo show at Ghost Gallery is on view until December 4th. 504 E Denny Way, Seattle WA 98122.

Ink on paper

The illustration is based on the concept of alchemical marriage between the Sun and the Moon. The Sun represents the higher self or true will and the Moon represents the ‘lower’ self or ego, the self that experiences the physical reality.

Happy Taurus season!

I’m a bit late, i know. Taurus is my rising sign. How about you?

 Music is Temperance by Sleep Palace https://sleeppalace.bandcamp.com/rele… 

 Card Description: Fire and water are wild and dangerous, yet there are places in the world where these two untamed forces meld together gracefully. With time and the right conditions these elements transform into fertile islands, beautiful crystals, and new life. Like these natural phenomena we too can master ourselves, harnessing our raw emotions and transforming them with patience and skill into something unexpected and powerful.
