So, what’s your art about then, what has it become since you started making mandalas?
Well, I’ve been told by voices in my head or while outside of consensus space, that the World Mandalas are indeed useful inventions of some type, besides being nice art works of course. They’ll always be ART, though they appear to be very hard to see, they take a lot of time to come into the visual perception of conventionally trained observers. But they are other things as well, which is kind of useful. Let me run some creative conjecture past you. The World Mandalas are an artificial three-dimensional DNA molecule design and they’re a rotary computer chip design. (One might arrange computer components in this pattern in order to maximize certain electrical effects.) The World Mandala is also a 3D model of an electrical circuitry design, (outside meets inside creating an omni-functional, continuous circuit.) It’s a model of human clustering behavior and it’s an alternative to the pyramidal model for an effective social hierarchy. What I mean by this is that power, as we know it, resides in the circle of the mandala design, in the pieces that have the greatest exposure to their “fellows”, and these are located at the mid-point between the outside of and the inside of the system, rather than in a single (top of the pyramid) location. The World Mandalas also reframe the concept of the picture – using magic, sacred geometry and some very interesting musical mathematics that are imbedded in their structure. But, I sense the point needs to be made that as these mandalas cross so many specializations or disciplines then they are only ever going to be partially visible to most educated people. In other words, all of these applications indicate a type of useful art, something that is valuable to the community, commerce or creativity for reasons beyond subjective perception. In the World Mandala’s whole effect there is an important point being made about art and what ART is. It’s a message that on inspection turns out to be more useful than it’s original intent. The World Mandalas are a message, (a bit like crop circles maybe), that have turned out to be more useful than any of the voices that described them could make them seem. Messages are important. Art is an important community message or signal. Watch it. Make it. Let’s all be touched by it.
Your art is useful?
You have no idea how useful. It was meant to be, as I was told so often. By the way, The World Mandala is also a star gate by which the two dimensional invaders, currently in control of part of our perceptions, will find more useful access to our domain and they will now probably alter their experiment on us as a result of this access. The Perception Game will endure another change.
What? You’ve lost me again, what…?
