The exhibition ‘Sacred Geometry’ captures a pool of energy that is always evolving. Sacred Geometry has its roots in nature. Many forms observed in nature are related to geometry, for example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape. Also, honeybees construct hexagonal cells to hold their honey. These inevitably follow geometrical archetypes, which reveal to us the nature of each form and its vibrational resonances. The repetition of circles and line in this body of work represents the cosmic significance of geometric forms. Living beings repeat numerous lives to become spiritually advanced through their life experiences. There are certain rules and patterns in this cycle of life. Everything around us, about us, among us, within us, and between us is made of atoms and molecules vibrating in space and ultimately everything exists in a constant and dynamic state of activity and movement in the name of the evolving process. Such meticulous, labor-intensive watercolor paintings and drawings; that are at once abstract, anatomical, spiritual and sensual in their organic undulations as seen in microscopic scans; investigate these secret cosmic codes of evolving patterns and incorporate symbolic geometry.
This exhibit is made possible in part through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
