| I painted this one while living in Spain. I used progressive Fibonnaci numbers (1,2,3,5,8,13,21) to define the shapes. The meaning: Its all too easy to indulge and get involved with the colours (lifestyles) of life, but to evolve we need to walk the razor-thin path of inner light (disipline) from where we will see the truth and no longer be lost in colour. |

Acrylic on canvas board. 254mm by 356mm. |
| A wire frame shape consisting of 20 equilateral triangles expands from it's centre. The nature of evolution is expansion and love teaches us this inner direction. Fear causes the avoidance of expanding our minds with love. We harbour fear because our life conditions keep us attached to our opinions. Our fears are our limits while love makes all things possible and exposes fear as delusion. All argument and conflict is caused by needless fear. Peace. |

| This is a painting about higher vibration and light. This is a subconscious insight into the coming 'golden age' or '5th kingdom of soul'. Earths energies and ours are rapidly evolving, which is why there is so much confusion, excess and conflict in the world. The childish ego is rebelling against accepting responsibility for peace and wholeness. |

| A strange attractor is a simple mathematical fractal pattern that builds itself using an iterative equation or rule. This pattern is basically, a rectangle with a circle at the centre. The space surrounding the circle is filled with a radiating formation of 'circle in rectangle' in a web-like arrangement. This structure represents the muntidimensional nature of awareness. The mushroom shapes near the centre are there to acknowledge the fearless inner journeys of shaman, who venture into other realms seeking wholeness and truth.......in case you're wondering. |

| My friend Katie reminds me of how connected we are and how we are all coming together towards a state of union in oneness (God consciousness). Sky Above Katie represents the true state of things beyond our personal perceptions,(as many of my paintings do). Reality is in a state of perfection at all times, stuff just happens whether we like it or not, I suppose its about acceptance. |
