|   Ancient Spirit Art is a synthethis
of my spiritual experience, my life experience, a life-long innate attraction
to the natural and spiritual world and practical application of learned
principles. My primary focus spiritually has been the sources of belief
and consequences of those beliefs over the millennia. This path added
fuel to an existing passion for tribal and surrealist/metaphysical art
perspectives and gave me cause to live from my own center encouraging
the same in all people. I experience a unique perspective in the north.
I've the great fortune to live in one of the most diverse unmolested places
on the planet in relative understanding and harmony with nature, and equivalent
to the serenity there has been much hard work, trials and the odd river
trip. From this place of balance I have drawn some understanding of my
own true nature and its capabilities. The isolation I choose allows me
time to reflect on my interaction with different perspectives, our multi-cultural
heritage, its nature and the changes that are taking place in the world
around us, while effectually interacting with the experience of the events
taking place. Transcendent events are taking place all over the world
and I feel passionate about the nature of those changes and the possible
directions being considered. Change is the only constant in life. Someone
wise once stated "As if you could kill time without injuring eternity",
awareness of self and direction of energy is of utmost importance to me
as I've learned all nature is optimized by recognition and pro-active
use of fundamental spiritual principles and equally destructive where
ennui prevails.
60,000 year old Mammoth Ivory, stones and fossils, in these ancient
materials I see a future that suggests massive transformation of the
human race. Fossil Ivory is the ideal medium for atavistic expression.What
once was, will be again. This work I offer in light of my experiences,
strengths and hopes for the future, and with a prayer that all find
the source of light where it truly resides, in each and every one of
us regardless of race, color, belief, issues, etc. My work is what I
see in these natures; their transformation and awakening as well as
my own evolution.
Most important of all, Art exists in all of us, in the uniqueness we
bring to life and the spirit in which we approach it. To thine own self
be true, an' it harm none. webbureau
