Unit 1: Week 11: Research: Sacred Geometry

I have found myself drawn to geometry and sacred geometry for decades, even before I understood the meanings and/or potential meanings behind certain geometric shapes. The first image shows my listing Sacred Geometry as one of my concerns a few weeks back, but at that point I was unable to make a connection between itContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 11: Research: Sacred Geometry”

Unit 1: Week 11: Research: Water

I am currently researching the idea of interconnectedness and entanglement on a universal scale, and have been trying to find a connection or common thread between all that I am reading, whether it be Science, Cosmology, Philosophy or Geometry.  I’ve found couple of topics where these ideas intersect and repeat, and one of those isContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 11: Research: Water”

Unit 1: Week 10: Research: The Ecological Thought (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)

My current hyper-fixation (long may it last) is one that has flitted in and out of my mind most of my life – the fact that I am of the opinion that we (all living and non living species and non-species on earth, and in the universe) are interconnected. It’s never really a line ofContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 10: Research: The Ecological Thought (Entanglement & Interconnectedness)”

Unit 1: Week 8: 3 Paintings, 1 Journey

Unit 1: Week 7: Artwork Conclusion: Salvador Dali Portrait

I’ve finally finished my Fractured Salvador Dali painting. I didn’t love this process as much as the David Bowie, but I enjoyed trying out Ala-prima painting and liked how quickly I could get this one finished. What I learnt about before making this artwork:  What I learnt during the making:  What I learnt after completingContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 7: Artwork Conclusion: Salvador Dali Portrait”

Unit 1: Week 5: Fracture, Form, Frame

This week I am experimenting with a medium and method that I haven’t played with since art school: Ink and Bleach on paper. I am only trying this because we have been advised that when embarking on the Form, Frame, Fracture project, to try to do something completely different to what we usually do. I’dContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 5: Fracture, Form, Frame”
