Among the many practices I find interesting is numerology. I was once told I am a number 8 - able to see both sides of the story, able to see balance, confident that patience will be rewarded.
My work explores illusion to discover the underlying truth. The archetype. The quality or experience that connects us rather than divides us.
“Revelation” is a statement about the realization of the truth. When disinformation or projected beliefs are eliminated, what’s left is that incredible “ah-ha” moment when everything is seen with fresh eyes.
Science historian, author, and television producer James Burke, in his series “The Day the Universe Changed” offered countless examples of how society’s view of the universe has been impacted by revelations. What we perceive as true is an illusion held together by current knowledge which can be overturned by scientific proof and/or direct experience. How the truth is revealed is not my point. When the veils of misinformation, political agendas, or any other form of illusion are pulled aside, what remains is undeniable. It can be unsettling, destabilizing and disruptive.
The truth shifts balance from what we once believed to what we now know.
