Entering a portal to a pathway of possibilities

 

Portals are highly symbolic of the numerous channels of discovery we can follow to experience our desired fulfilment. 

Every day we are reminded of their presence by the glorious spectacle of the sunrise, the light filtering through the countless natural portals, heralding the emergance of another dawn. The shifting shadows and colours creating a dancing dynamic for the perpetual movement of life’s chi. Portals represent possibilites and the pursuit of our vehicles to upliftment. Cuisines, fragrances, creativity, love, travel, imagination, fantasy, inspiration, spirituality are all portals we can encounter.

Natures portals that naturally exist sometimes become objects of worship, ceremony and reverance. A symbol of permanace and endurance, openess and belief , transition and initiation. Doors, gates, dreams and conscioussness also can act as portals. They can also represent a magical pathway as a test of strength, courage, or wisdom.

 A plethora of visual inspiration and interaction, inviting intrigue and mystique with this thought provoking phenomena.

Minoan Labyrinth Wall Plaque

Midnight Moon-Celtic

This seven- circuit labyrinth dates back to 1200BC in Greece. A single continuous pathway winds into its centre. This same design has been found in Europe (Ireland, Denmark, Finland and Sweden) and South American Indian Tribes as well as India, Pakistan, Africa and Australia. Tracing the circuit with ones finger was used to calm the mind.

‘Holey Stone’  — I found this rock while swimming in the sea at Half Moon Bay, a Feng Shui enriched location.

Any stone that features a natural hole in it was regarded in the past to be a sacred object because it was created over extended time and is made by moving water. This makes it capable of holding the powers of the earth. The inherent strength of this gives it the ability for being a protection amulet and was used for attraction to the Elemental worlds. Magic can’t be cast on moving waters.

 

Hag Stone

Worn in ancient times as charms for banishing illness, protection for pets, avoiding bad dreams and nightmares, good luck on the water, protection for the home.

My amazing Ginger cat ‘Messiah’ spent several days chewing on the cardboard, maybe inspired by the portals on the box. A commendable feline sculptural attempt.

 He’s also very creative vocally.

‘Barcelona’ by Nicolau Raurich, c. 1909

 

In addition to the wonderful nourishment provided by perrismon, pumpkin, peach and tangerine they also gift a rich array of colour tones that have auspicious implications in the East, especially for the persimmon and the peach. Baked pumpkin is recomended in Japanese macrobiotic healing, dried tangerine peel, peaches and pear are suggested in traditional Chinese medicine and oranges are a mainstay for good health. The presence of  amber, orange and ochre colours always acts as a panacea for uplifting the spirit.

 The persimmon is the national fruit of Japan and has been a major part of Japanese traditional food culture for hundreds of years. The persimmon tree  reguarily appears in temples and shrines in Japan, symbolic of the Earth Element.  Japanese culture has celebrated these delicious, heavenly fruits for thousands of years associated with good luck, longevity and transformation.

While waiting for the lights to change at a busy intersection, I noticed how vivid a bronze/orange car looked against the sea of grey, black and white autos. It stood like  a beacon of light in an inert, drab landscape. Time to get peachy tangerined. I think my next auto will feature a persimmon hue.

Nature inspired decorative rhythms

 

Nature is blessed with both predictable and chaotic rhythms, which is highly fortunate because our very survival depends upon it. We are presented with daily vistas that show perpetual motion through the movement of light, shadows, currents, waves, breezes and a myriad of natural kinesis. Shape, colour and perspective are continually stimulated to reveal a sublimity of designs and it’s easy to see why many artists have expressed how they are deeply influenced by the innate beauty and rhythms of nature.

The symbiosis between the artist and the natural world is obvious and the constant flux of the elements is forever feeding this lively dynamic. From sunrise to dawn, throughout the changing seasons, a vast array of colours and moods all contribute to this inspiration and it’s remarkable how we are gifted with such a rich display of natural art. Its easy to grasp why the forces of nature are often referenced as a source of inspiration to artists.. Patterns, textures, form, colours, light and shade are all used to reflect movement and its associated rhythms.

 

 

Handpainted Polish MCM porcelain plate

 

 

 Jung claimed that nature is a symbol of spirit while the philosopher Thomas Aquinas observed that the divine reveals itself in nature. Pythagoras of Samos (570-495BC) stated that there is geometry in the humming of strings, there is music in the spacing of spheres.”

The elemental Chineses Animals are on a 60 year rotation so the last time we had the very feminine Water Rabbit leading into the creatively potent Wood Dragon was 1963/64. That era was an extraordinary time of emboldened artistic flow and innovation, introducing new rythyms, both musically and visually.

  This post will be an exploration of art that might be again alluding to that exceptional direction of lively rythyms in design and structure with soul enriching art, similtaneously considering the influence of the rhythms of the natural world in decorative choices.

Julie Woods – ‘My Grandmothers Country’

Australia’s indigenous inhabitants sometimes deliberatly walk lightly on the ground, their gentle steps being a display of their recognigition of the perfection of our earth and its elements and the contribution it makes to maintaining the balance between strength and vulnerability, while sustaining the natural order.

They revered their ‘Country’ as a living entity, which sustains all life and exists as a product of their Creator Ancestors.

 

For me, one of the creative highlights of this year  was when a Matchstick Plant I was gifted with, unexpectingly bloomed into a triumpant, vibrantly pink and purple Bromeliad, which I had bever seen before.

 

 

 

Another was the arrival of a Huntswoman with her silk sack of spiders on the canvas blind outside my window. She stayed there for 21 days with dedicated devotion and didn’t even leave them for feeding herself. This was followed by witnessing the arrival of 34  babies out of the silk. All up about a 7 week gestation.

Boho  flair and flamboyamt floral flirtations raged in the 60’s The floral aesthetic featured strongly with the Flower Power designs attempting to introduce more gentleness as a counter balance to the harshness of war. I’m wondering whether we will see a new type of kombucha kindness manifesting against the current turmoil.

Landscape is my source; more the accumulation of recollected impressions than particular sites: the weathered surfaces, textures and subtle colours of the Australian bush and patterns in the cultivated landscape.

The innovative design trajectory of the lively, free flowing, colouful and expressive fashion that evolved during the 50s/60s was demanding to be elevated with a more dynamic presentation and the photographers responded to the challenge with aplomb. During this era it was a visual experience to behold, witnessing chic models wearing shimmering, bold, stylishl garments lensed by brilliant photogrphers while juxttaposed against ancient monuments in exotic, distant locations or exciting street scenes.

Editor-in-chief at Vogue US, Diana Vreeland, commisioned photographers like David Avedon, Horst P Horst, Henry Clarke and Irving Penn to travel to foreign countries like South-America, Spain, and Africa adding a fresh dynamism to fashion editorials This was an instrinsic extension to her previous work as a stylist with Louis Dahl-Wolfe, who was an integral trailblazer and gifted visionary in the development of a new era in fashion photogrpahy. This  included favouring natural outdoor light, candid spontaneity in the model poses, the inclusion of designs focused on form and line along with refined composition and balance and more muted colour palletes. She developed a rich vein of exceptional photographic images which helped to liberate the visual arts from the confines of the studio and introduce a sophisticated glamour, presented with a more relaxed sense of style and freedom. which is still a couture de force till this day.

The following photos highlight the photograhers that contributed to this reshaping of the fashion narrative and visual culture that was launched during this highly unique era.

Vision of a rabbit lake surrounded by a rich ochre terrain from an elevation of 3km

NT,  Australia

 

 

Rabbit blue lake in middle of OZ

 

Despite being the Year of the Rabbit, bunnies weren’t really on my radar, having already done a feature post on the refined rabbit. Recently, while indulging in an arial landscape foray for gong shi exploration, I had a chance sighting of an intruiging rabbit lake in the centre of Australia. It was in an auspicious location due to its proximity to Mount Wedge and Pupanya (origin of Indiginous Aussie Art from bark to canvas). This acted as a visual catalyst that motivated me to take a closer look into the Rabbit Year 

As this year is associated with the Water Rabbit, which only comes every 60 years, the last time this happened was in 1963, right on the cusp of an era of  cultural and artistic revolution.The Water Rabbit arouses artistic fluidity, creative virility, feminine flexibility, moderation, balance and moving with the flow. 

At this time the Beach Boys were launching their  breezy Surf Music mania and wave motion imagery was becoming very popular. Even ocean symbolic, shark fin designs were appearing as a frequent feature on most cars cruising around in the sixties. The bold sea sail architectural statement of the Sydney Opera House was also opened in 1963.

Miro, Jackson Pollock, Guido Gambone, Robert Crumb and numerous artists had introduced a freewheeling flow and spirit in their works, emboldened by a carefree abandon. So many shackles were suddenly shed, releasing an irrestistable spirit of freedom which kept expanding along with the far reaching musical innovation and genre fusion unleashed from Coltrane, Hendrix, The Beatles, Miles Davis and countless others in this artistically fertile decade.

The currently unique combination of the Water Rabbit, the emergence of Neptune and the beginning of a new Jupiter Grand Transit (2020) is a potent mix for spiritual illumination. I’m now anticipating a new phase of cultural expansion and creativity becoming imminent. I don’t beleive we can assimilate another ride as wild as the last time but I feel there will be a more nurturing component of rejuvination, creative healing, sustanence and preservation. 

Enjoy this collection inspired by rabbits, feminifience, calming beauty, ochre orange, trippy blue palletes, ethereal spontaneous flow and good fortune.

— “This dot art piece was inspired during the time of 12/12 /2020 as it was a pinnacle time due to  many stars aligning in our solar system and the dormant energy of the serpent under Uluru rising again. Mother earth is changing and she is waking up in many areas on the planet and Uluru. The centre is the Emotional Chakra of the Earth, waking the dormant serpent to assist with clearing trauma within the consciousness for healing humanity.” — Alexander Calamei

Eight legged creatures like the octopus and the spider (and their web) are worthy of contemplation  because they can guide you beyond entrapement from your deep past. The intricate webs and tentacles being symbolic of the entanglement that can bind us. That’s why traditionally they are known to free emotional and creative blocks. As a new era of inner freedom is now emerging, its a great time for some serious release.

The bunny luck was working for Herbie in 1963 (Rabbit Year) when he acquired this Cobra car on a whim in NY for $6000, with money from his paycheck from his huge hit ‘Watermelon Man’. He had also just recorded a song called King Cobra, which he described as an attempt to “expand the flow [of jazz tunes and chords] so that it would go in directions beyond the usual” This was the beginning of  his expanding journey into fusion music that also included building the Funk genre in the 70’s. He still owns the Cobra, currently worth 2 $million.
