From Wiki: “A talisman (Arabic: طلسم‎; transliterated: tilasim) is an object which is believed to contain certain magical properties which would provide good luck for the possessor and possibly offer protection from evil or harm.”

These works incorporate my favorite mixed media and found objects; anything from natural fibers like hemp to watch parts, gears, nuts, bolts and other industrial style media.
High quality findings and up-cycled industrial hardware are combined to compliment my Handblown art glass and sculpted clay creations.

Complacency

Never Stop Learning….

For clarity, complacency is where you are completely content with how things are. This is not a bad thing in itself except that it leads to trouble. The most common trouble is forgetting that everything you have requires maintaining.

Failure to maintain is ceasing to exist…

These are just a few thoughts that stood out to me – ironically enough as I was researching the Klein bottle.  They are a good reference point for what I mean by my usual saying – “Don’t do Nothing!” It also covers “Never Stop Learning” pretty well.

What’s with the Feet? The Symbolism of My Logo and Signature Footprint

The Symbolism of My Logo and Signature Footprint

– A seeker’s thought…

“The footprint reminds us that these Master Teachers once resided
in our earthly domain and shared Divine Wisdom with us. And although these Master Teachers are gone their Teachings, Their Footprint, remains with us.”
