all things on earth, beyond us all,
beyond the heavens, beyond the
highest, the very highest heavens.
This is the Light that shines in our heart.

Sophia
1989, acrylic on canvas, 48 x 86 in.

I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore, and the holy one. I am the wife and the virgin.
I am the mother and the daughter….I am she whose wedding is great,
and I have not taken a husband….I am knowledge, and ignorance.

-THUNDER, PERFECT MIND, Gnostic poem, 100 A.D.

Spiritual World

Sacred Mirrors Frame
in collaboration with Allyson Grey

Surrounding each image is a 5 x 10.5 foot arched frame specifically designed for the Sacred Mirrors. The frames feature a sculptural relief of the history of the universe, from big bang cosmogenesis through biological and technological evolution, providing a philosophical framework in which to view the Sacred Mirrors.
