"As Within, So Without" 9" x12"

This was a final project for my English Image and Writing Class.

It had to incorporate image and text some how. I ended up painting then figuring out what I wanted to quote. I ended up seeing a pattern with the white squares; some going into my eye from my heart area where there ended up being a sort of abstract explosion thing. I realized this could illustrate "as within; so without" perfectly and the words fit perfectly into the squares. And it makes a cycle too. It was a perfect and unconscious unfolding haha. (sorry for the lousy lighting in photos =/)

Heres the sequence:

Painting Final: "Merkaba Rising" -5.5' x 3.5'

This was another fun art piece devoted to working abstractly. I feel like I was following themes such as parallel dimensions, organic-like structure, and the merkaba.

Here is a time-lapse of the painting process
