This is my latest work 2009 - 2010 Bronze Geometric Forms of fish creating some very exciting shapes in the Medallions-Amulets-Talismanic Traditions. Fish are a very good symbol to have around they bring abundance these generally come with a leather cord or a blackened silver chain, these are very powerful in their abstraction and fantastical patterns, they glow in the sun. I have designed these with ancient cultures in mind. most likely Summarian-Babylonian early bibilical times, where the cults of many Gods ruled the times, the Goddess was the faith and religion that ruled humanity, where it is thought the written word and the beginning of documented history began for the western world. the arts flourished. It seems to me most of my work comes from this ancient period in time. when the change over from the Matriarch (the Goddess) to the Patriarch (The Father). I find it very curious all these images I created. I discovered the "Star Snake Charm" or should I say I made it up, but really, again a curious and mysterious creation, like the fish curious and mysterious also. Their patterns , the geometrics, the energy fields, the tricks to the eye as one gazes upon these images, they seem so universal and cosmic in origin. I just make this stuff then have to research what this is about, it has been a life long pursuit and gets deeper the more I do it, wheather I want to go there or not. So this is my path to discover some historical and aligorical truths. Yet create beauty in a weird way, it always seems to me to be a little off kilter, never right on. Perfection is not what this is about, it is about wrapping the mind around these images, you know like when watching a great movie you never want it to end, you are sucked in, and you bask in some altered state of glory and elation, you feel it in your stomach I think, it doesn't happen often, but when it does WoW its a good feeling. Music does the same thing the highest form of art, that is why it is a very difficult profession. I have found the fish to be an interesting journey for me, people are either attracted to them or say hey I am not into fish. It is funny to me that most people can only see the literal aspect to the design and cannot get passed the concept of fish, which is a real shame because it is not just about the illusion of fish, it is deeper much deeper, it goes back to the beginning of the human manifestation, when humanity was in its Atlantian stage or Water state of being, same with the starsnake the waterstate, the mermaid mythology gives us a hint from those times. I think Rudolf Steiner mentions that onehalf was in the open air, our mind and lungs the upper torso, and the lower half was still hidden and underwater, it is one reason that people are generally scared of snakes, it reminds us deep down in the core of our being that ancient state of being, we were snake-like. So this is where this art comes from the deep archetype. We must confront our demons so to speak to get past them. That is my job as an artist, to dig down into beginnings of time, not unlike the Shamans or Hierophants that show you the door. One just has to do the work, to go through the door if they dare. These are the sacred images that embody this concept that bring protection, prosperity, fertility, wisdom, love, whatever one seeks while we exsist on this terrestrial plane. Everyone has their chosen path, these are my gifts to you, to remind us of our beginnings and to help us navigate the sometimes treacherous path back to the seed kernal of the beginning of time among the stars shinning above. "Go forth an multiply" some God said and fish are that great symbol, of prosperity. So now you know everyone better have one of these today. The good life is just around the corner. Your protective talisman that I infuse with great healing and lifeforce is yours for a nominal fee. If you are in real need of this amulet or any of my more esoteric designs, I will work with your budget as best I can. We all sometimes need a psychological boost, to get us motivated. |
