Solo Exhibits and Installations – Sacred Ground, Skin & Bones
Sacred Ground is a space of quiet solitude and mystery where something “Other” speaks and the inner mind and heart listen. The thematic concern was experiential as man has often been drawn to sacred places of transformed energy, and the ancients believed in altered physical environments to try and trigger the conscious and unconscious mind to venture into a new experience, a new way of being.
One enters the piece with walls covered in large Paleolithic-like drawings containing two forms of icons. One form is like ancient shards, representing the influence, time, knowledge, and direct immanence from the wisdom of the masters, and the other is a coloured window on tablets signifying that wisdom over time has been transformed by the intellect.
The viewer traverses the installation with low light and sound from a Harmonic Choir to arrive at the final inner chamber to encounter the sculptural forms that allude to the Spiritual Masters.
