New Order

Everything is made of stardust.

Pass electricity through this primordial goo we call stardust and this is the start of all life.

This table is an ordering and categorization of all the stardust in life.









But before science, and in the inacceptance of science people need an understanding or belief about the forces of the universe.

This is where religion and esotericism comes in.

Paraphernalia makes beliefs tangible and control possible.




These are word paintings i made in aim of ordering my ideas.



Colour based on the painting of a french church is did when i was 2. Basic instinct to order.



Considering baackground patterns





Ordering paraphernalia according to my 3 main realms of investigation: Fate, Acceptance of Mortalitiy, and Nature's laws being the right laws.



Ordered display of my ordering



All my most meaningful paraphernalia in terms of understanding the world and feeling comfort in the grip of it's forces



My bedroom installation sketch up:



Symmetry of colourful word paintings along sides. Focus point on duvet cover. Layout similar to church.

Slides of bedrooms projected onto duvet. Possibly alternating with slides of interiors of churches and other places of worship, so give comparative context: Sanctuary. One is personal, the other collective.

The nature of the exhbition's private view, and the venue being public, make the installation a collective place. But the content of my installation comes from a very personal place, which will add comparative context.

Ordering fate.... either really logical and easy or impossible

Ordering is therapeutic

look... i compartmentalised my desktop!

Bedroom as Solace

some ideas and visual representations of some religious, esoteric, mythical and classical cosmology...

Modern science


The triple rhythm of creation, duration and destruction (Brahman the Creator, Vishnu the Sustainer and Kalaruda the Destroyer) is infinitely repetitive. Hinduism, India.


Another trinity... The Three Graces (Renaissance Christianity) that reconcile opposites.
Much like the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.



Father Time commands Death. Christianity.




Naturalism (and science?)


The Wheel if Sangsara (Becoming). passion, hatred and unconsciousness keep the wheel moving. The inner wheel is the world of Karmic existence.
The six outer segments depict six destinies of salvation.
The monster embracing the wheel is Anityata (Impermanence) which has the power to devour all existence. Tibet.


Dual basic rhythm of Universe: Yin and Ylang.
The timebound interation of these rhythms gives rise to all phenomena in the universe.
China


God creating the universe, and on it's completion, time. Sicily.


Witchcraft



Spirit Forces: Symbols of the elements


A symbolic diagram of the universal spirit of nature


A magician controlling a demon from within his circle of astrological symbols

Personal cosmology projection

maybe peoples' personal cosmologies/inner belief systems, are organised and projected through how they dress? clothes and adornments.



clothes are firstly comfort and swaddling.
they are secondly a communicative device, to fellow humans as self expression or hierarchical devices, or to deities as respect.





designs and adornments can also be talismanic

So electricity (electromagnetism) is responsible for creating and sustaining all things and movements on earth... animals, vegetables and minerals and all the elemental forces and astronomical events.

Coral is animal, and vegetable, and mineral - so it exemplifies what electricity is capable of making on our planet. But to look at it you'd never know it - you always see it in display units in museums. sometimes with a backdrop recreating their 'original' habitat, assumed to be the sea.






A Renaissance and Classical cosmological view is that the planet earth (a microcosm) is a miniature reflection of the universe (a macrocosm). This is known as 'As Above So Below'.
A smaller IMAGE of the larger cosmos is SUPERIMPOSED onto the planetary structure.
