Fourth dimension art (four cardinal points)

Two dimensional art is a single focus, viewer to viewed, object  perspective.  Three dimensional art is a single focus on an object with the front being completed by the logical back.

This art is a combination of three dimensional, two dimensional art, poetry but adds a multi-dimensional  perspective.  This art gives you at least two perspectives; two independent people standing on opposite sides of a meaning, a beginning and an end of a thought, an over view and a focused view of a particular scene.   As with all three dimensional art there are sides to the art, but these sides are perspectives in their own reason.  They continue and promote the other sides.  One side may be totally different from the other side, but will continue the meaning of the opposite side.  Each side could be an independent statement in its own individual pronouncement.  Some sides, parts or possibly a whole sculpture may contain letters, words or poetry.

This art is participation art, there is a psyche momentum to it.  You must walk around to view this art in its many perspectives; front, back, left, right, top views, under views.  The initial view that you see will result in a different perspective than a first read at another angle.  This art will stimulate more conversation among groups with “do you see the… ..?”  When I had shows in Mexico the people would walk around, follow the detail, search the holes.  Families would point out images, discuss and embrace this artifact in its totality.

This art is part dream, part reality.  This art lives on both sides of reality. It is the birthing ground of the potencies of the soul. It speaks by image, metaphor, symbolism, narrative. A showing of this art is a form of living theatre, life in the round, philosophy in form.  James Hollis, Ph.D., a Jungian Analysis and Author said about one of my sculptures “It reminds me of a Tlingit Shaman’s amulet which Jung pictures in one of his alchemical texts.”
