My response to Sian Lindemann saying: 'Art has a Voice: Is yours being heard?'

.
'Art has a voice: Is yours being heard?' was a question Sian Lindemann posed to 'creatives' at Facebook.

Reinforced by Carl Watts saying at Twitter: 'Life is a game of creating effects. If no one listens/looks: No effects.'

After not doing any artwork for 5 years: On 1:1:2010 my 'Creative Muse' told me (quietly but assuredly) that I was going to resume my art again.

I have been asking for the last 5 years for the new direction I knew my art needed to take. I also knew that I couldn't pick up a pencil or brush until my true 'Creative Muse' directed me too.

All I knew was that whatever was going to be given birth through me: Was going to be VERY new and not like anything I'd ever done before.

This has turned out to be partly true: Partly not true. True in the sense that the newly envisaged work will be VERY new: Not true in the sense that it will incorporate just about every element of my previous art.

Quite soon after I started visiting Facebook and by chance (?) saw some of Jim Zuckerman's stunning photography. I became a Facebook friend of Sian Lindemann and we started talking about Jim's images.

Shortly after: Again by chance (?) I saw a Facebook message from Sian, relating to a late vacancy for her 5x5 Design Program: I immediately applied and was accepted.

During the course of the 5x5:  Over the following 3 months, Sian turned many of my former ways of seeing art & for that matter life, around 360 degrees.

For instance: 'Art has a Voice: Is yours being heard?' Sian Lindemann

The evolution of the concept for my new work has taken the remainder of the year: And a summary of the proposal has been posted at Sian's Blog Walk One Mile Now

Locations: Oceans and Harbor all around Sydney.
Subjects: Shells: Abstractions & details of shells: Patterns of light.
Media: Transparent Perspex: Orgonite: Metals and Crystals.
Purpose: Aesthetic: Uplift the spirit of all who view.
Purpose: Function: Neutralize EMFs: Heal Sydney Waters. Bring back our Blue Sky.

My next step: Experiment with orgonite as an art media, and construct some small scale 11:11 models.

It will be imperative that these works are absolutely AWEsome: So that Governments & Institutions & Corporates etc will do anything to have them constructed in their local environments.

The effects: Beauty in the environment: But also neutralization of all the positively charged EMFs crisscrossing the airways, not to mention all the funny 'clouds' crisscrossing our sky.

Sian has recently been rewarded for staying true to her 20 year vision and ‘The World House and Arts Mastery Program’ has come into being. A school for artists/visionaries/contemplatives ~ That will house exhibitions ~ And be a gathering place for creatives from all over the world.

Just today Sian presented: The shaman may be an artist in the traditional sense of the word ~ A musician, dramatist, painter, singer, dancer or ceremonialist ~ Or all of those things at once. More than that, however, the shaman is touched by the creative energies of the universe and his entire life becomes a work of art as he touches the infinite and shapes it into a new way of being. This is expressed not just in ‘art forms' but in 'The Art of Living.'

And for me: As with Sian: 'I've just found the words that best explain the force that drives me to create and molds my creations.'
