Evolution

Illuminator Series: The Royal Wedding is a merger, a multi-faceted view of the crystal. Light and dark begin to dance within the circle as the black continues it•s metamorphic process. The heat and flame of experience increase and the whitening begins. The white aspect of the alchemical process is the manifestation of a deep healing. What happens is it gives birth to axioms. These insights form the images, which create personalized alchemical recipes. Various figures from history -both real and imagined- have folded with cross-cultural counterparts significant to the artist. This manifested array marks the interior witnesses that revolve around the axis of the third part, that which has yet to be. All the works can be viewed simultaneously, as if they are all happening at the same time in different places and dimensions. Poetic conception is the moment in which a certain resonance rings out throughout the universe. As the piper plays his hypnotic melodies so, too, the aspirant chooses his card. These moments capture a singular message. And that is an awakening with the white and black truly integrated. The red man and the white woman merge and not only give birth to the divine child but absorb its golden aura, which is the backdrop of the of this series of paintings. The entire universe spirals above, below, and within. The Royal Wedding heals all wounds, and establishes treaties amongst all houses; a rekindling of friendship; truce between enemies; the harvesting of fruits of labor; the newborn gifts between lovers; a new manifestation between father and son, god and warrior, mother, sister and friend. There is a great wedding occurring. The bride and groom could be myth and reality or science and religion. Seeming opposites come together as there is no expansion without contraction. Each guest is invited to contribute and share his or her own gifts within the court. May the masks come off and the archetypes dance. Who knows what they will bring forth.
