Kabbalah - Base (2021) Σχέδιο από Philip Guest

The artwork isn't here yet, but I have been enjoying the process of preparing for its arrival!

There are three sub-galleries:

Color - is where I am allowing myself to be educated by the forces of color. Golly, they have taught me a lot already, especially about myself.  

Form - I have taught Geometry for many years. Some of the work my students have produced blows me away! Near the dawn of time I was an architectural draftsman. Originally I was going to have Music as a separate gallery, but I think it properly belongs here. Music and Math, Architecture and Astronomy, Pattern and Form.

Alphabets - Symbolic representation is such a unique human power. My theory is that we developed this from watching the stars, seeing the correspondences between those patterns above and events of our experience. The development of Chinese characters from Cave Drawings is a straight line. Syllables and Phonics are a bit more complex. And then, at this point in history, so many layers! The throw away attitude to letters, words and language that both schools and general culture seem to be deteriorating into I find both saddening and appalling! Please let's not squander such awesome possibilities! Convenience is all very well in its place. Quantity is an attribute. But let's not close ourselves off to the beautiful and the profound.

My hope is that the art will be a fusion, a weaving together of these three strands.

Products to me are incidental, evidence, we hope, of a living process, and that process needs to be an adventure.

I have been collecting words, colors, shapes and patterns that I enjoy. I can do some work with those, but collaboration is always more exciting! If you have some words, shapes and colors that you enjoy, that resonate or that mean something to you, then please let me know. Maybe we can work together to produce something significant? I would enjoy that!
