PRACTICE AND VISION: The world changes everyday. Lotus Series (2001).  The  (2002) installation Mono Poly Theism's Bombastic Post Mortem and the Neurological Paradigm with Hemispheric Contusions served to describe the collective thoughts and actions at the turn of the millennium. Velocity of Thought (2003) represents the cyclical nature of thought and the cyclical nature of consciousness as well as the whirlwind of group thought at this momentous stage of the human condition and social development. Best Step Forward (2005) is our grounded movement forward as we find our equal footing and move ahead with expanded consciousness and awareness. The images of the foot and the shoe both contain mythical, allegorical and archetypal information rooted deep in our being. The shape, form and proportions of the Lotus Link Purse(2007) utilizes the symbolic imagery of the  circle and the square/rectangle seen extensively in the sculpture, architecture and caligrapghy through out the Han Dynasty.  The circle derived to represent heaven and the square/rectangle to represent earth.
 Current thoughts taking flight are of Eternalism-Cosmic Mirror/Lotus Mobile-Magnificient View in the Window of Wakefulness.  

From Mineral I became Vegetable from Vegetable I became Animal from Animal I became Man. What I will become you cannot imagine.
Sufi Poem

...But thy eternal summer shall not fade....When in eternal lines to time thou growest...So long as men can breathe or eyes can see so long lives this and this gives life to thee.  Shakespear's Eternal Consciousness
