Words Weaving Waves – Awaking Dreaming Ivy
In this paper and series of photographs and drawings, I document the learning journey of creating a woven ivy art installation at the Schumacher College and consider this process in light of conversations and that which I learned of quantum physics, daoism, and cosomology during the Science, Spirit and Consciousness short course in late February. Some of the thinkers present in the work are Shantena Sabbadini, Amit Goswami, Chris Clarke, Albert Einstein, David Bohm, Ronald Brady, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu and my dear friend Adriana Puech.
Gateways of Oldenlight
Paintings from the Love Tree
Here are some of the paintings I completed during the two year Climbing the Love Tree circumambulation of the planet:
Displayed at the Second Song of Source Show in Santa Fe – The Alchemical Elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire
Painted for dear friend Joey and his bride – They met just around the spot depicted here.
For a new festival raw food restaurant possibly opening in California.
The first in finding images within chaotic and random paint throwing and swirling.
My dear accomplice on more than half of the journey, left and gifted eventually at Fairy Meadows in the light of Nanga Parbat ninth tallest mountain of Gaia.
A service learning project integrating Vedic and Integral Yoga symbology at the Youth Camp guest house where the Living Routes project has at times been based from.
Painted this sign for a local bar in Shangrila Old Town. Much thanks to Chuni and the guys at Namaste Bar – we had a joyous time circle dancing, singing and drinking.
Painted at the top of the stairs in a hostel for a week of stay and amazing Chinese food.
Traded to the good folks at Prajna Bar for as much as I cared to drink of Beer Lao Dark, Yunnan Sticky Rice Wine and Tibetan Barley Wine.
Traded along with a couple other signs for a night’s rest at the Spicy Laos Hostel in Vangvien.
Painted during my stay with the Mus family in Ketambe, gateway to Gunung Leuser national park. Coffee from the back yard, fresh sambal, young jackfruit curries and durian dawoon. A helping of paradise.
For a friend on his porch in the Northern Territory.
Traded for a few fat sacks of cacao! Thank you so much to Rachel and the Soma crew!

Of Quetzalcoatl, Neo and the Christ Compassionate
Spinning round and round, weaving the realization of spaceship nature. The light projected on the wall told the story of the jaguar man, diving and swallowed whole by the feathered serpent only to be regurgitated ad astra and back again, bringing back the secrets of the double helix and replenishing the light ball seduction that has forever intertwined the matrix of energy and organization.
Laughter engulfed me as I was subsumed in the momentary wonder. Time and space in a dance, man. The parallels let themselves be seen over the following months. Neo plunging into Agent Smith, exploding enfolding and imploding the Matrix, only to fly away and do it once more evermore. The Template speaking of the virus of Source consciousness come to infect us all, as with Philip K Dick’s great Plasmate channeled through Zebra smiling raucous dancing havoc upon the Black Iron Prison.
…and the man of The Fountain who at great last accepts the simple and ultimately challenging request of the Goddess, releasing his separative ego disease so utterly bent on saving Her rather than answering her call, and in his pride building Her the grandest of sand castles. Owning his invitation from the Great Mother to become fully Himself as formless First Father, he is consumed, cured and obliterated by the Light held of the Tree of Life, simultaneously giving unto Gaia back all that is Hers…
… as Christ compassionate gives his form as a massive stick in the spokes of Samsara.
