Sundial Mandala: Illuminating Consciousness
The underpainting is painted with a sticky ball from the gumball tree, boiled as medicine water for the spray bottle for this canvas. This painting was born during the global shutdown of 2020. The lion’s mane remains a challenge, the wild mane of the lion expressing the winds of change. Untethered and chaotic the world turns inside out with an exposed level of unkindness and dis-ease of a no win-win game. It is confusing and I don’t quite know what to do with it. It is all over the place, seeking and searching. The dark winged one returns to the mysteries from the original painting. The Tree of Life in the elephant ears has actual elephant dung from Africa mixed in the paint for texture. In 2021, it guides me forward. The centaur representing the sacred wounds turned into medicine. The mane evolves into the Sundial Mandala to activate and illuminate consciousness.
Poem:
We must call forth, the unknown wisdom, the source force that is yet to be known.
Our planet, our people, our way of living is in a massive need of shapeshifting from this pattern of being we have outgrown.
The sundial mandala offers an activation to those drawn into the beams and rays.
Uniting Spirit and Matter, calling forth medicine from our wounds and grounding this energy into form every day.
