TEMPLES OF TIME
Temples of Time, plays with the visual harmony inherent in the Tripartite Schema found throughout history in art, religion, and classical architecture. In the most basic way, each piece in the series has three vertical sections and three horizontal, with a third axis of depth implied through layering, creating a coherent nested relationship between parts and the whole.
The Three: Body, Soul and Spirit, expressed through sacred geometry. I see this series at once as a ray of light breaking over high mountains and as a perspectival view deep into the mountain range.
The art presents as grey, but upon closer inspection it is clearly, if subtly, infused with color.
The Temples of Time works provide a place of peace and reflection – a Temple, a primordial echo through the mountains of creation, a place where the threads of life collide and interweave.
For all this, the Temples of Time derive their imagery from photographs I take of gates that line back alleys or auto body shops. I thus realize an unlikely transformation by turning what goes unnoticed, discarded, or considered unsightly into a transcendent space.
