aum

i was thinking about the other side of the banner I made for this show, my usual, a cloudstickpeople piece. it is basically itself a tryptich, although actually it is one painting. i guess a tryptich can be a scene so then it is part of a double tryptich. it is a secret double tryptich as the painting may never really be displayed. or it could be displayed further away from a wall. the secret is not really a secret by design though. as a title it has a ring to it and as long as the painting side is turned it is like a secret. as a double secret tryptich it is also a great symbol for my painting as much of my work could be called 'the secret life of clouds'. we live in the times when all secrets will be revealed. i am pretty sure i heard or read that in some indigenous writing. probably native american but possibly world indigenous. my lax recall is probably due to the fact i read alot but don't document beyond folding corners and paper markers. but it makes alot of sense. you know, there was a white calf in wisconsin i believe recently which was a big omen to certain tribes. this follows the idea of secrets revealed as this brings great portend. in these great portend we could say is our opportunity to learn about life and who we are as creations. we are 'in God's image' so what does that mean. and just what god is being invoked as there are many.

i have also realized what i am trying to say with these mandalas which are not dna reflectors (see the blog thebiggreenpea nearer the beginning of the blog, possibly in the archive). they operate on the same design as this later set which is essentially a sacred art way. i recently encountered the idea of consciousness resonance units. that is not the correct phrasing exactly but it led me to a conclusion that each mandala is in a sense the point of an infinite field of resonance. my guide is the ideal and the ultimate. the platonic form realms and dimensions. resonance as light and even as sound. i invoke sound as color and light do have their audio as well. each mandala is also a whole song or symphony. and then as a tryptich, what field has been set up with these three ringing as one?

as for sound and clouds i will suggest a study of aum.
