The Kykeon and Icon of Hygeia A gentle painting for a harsh transit. not unpleasantly rough for most people but for a few who believe in the Eucharist and a god instituted by the church it could be. As a medical personification of health, Hygeia was daughter of Asklepios, the god of medicine. Traditionally Asklepios is known for his staff with a serpent which integrates similar details with the Caduceus of Hermes. I selected the Greek goddess in this painting in favor of other deities because of her relationship between three symbols. The first being the molting snake going through various phases in an immutable soulful way-a vehicle or vehiculum Second, the amuletic badge ' the Pythagorean pentagram ' belonging naturally to an order that expresses health, inspiration and harmony. The third is the cup that contains the passage into the circle with which the diameter or chord passes through everlasting li...
the trespassing mouth is an effigy locator. a symbolic punisher. it has a soft spot for finding target's to talk about. it is viral and highly contagious. on it's best behavior the trespassing mouth is charming because it wants excessive attention but meanwhile it intrudes without permission. it feeds on those who are tenderly attentive and secretly angry. the trespassing mouth is a subject of great debate but remains a hidden category that influences our highest courts and officials. scientists aren't really too sure what it is. it behaves like a parasite and needs a host. it believes in a non representational freedom that it uses as an excuse to do whatever it wants. we know it adapts structurally to the mouth where it suppresses cognition in the brain while mining and feeding on internal anger. use of empathy seems to show remarkable healing results in the fight against the trespassing mouth.
Six is everything from carbons intense journey from sedimentary to diamond, snowflakes and honey combs. Six constitutes beauty, efficacy and strength. Six is favored and feared while representing the shape of creation in many religions. All tiles are hand cut, filed and individually enameled. I was inspired by studying Keith Critlow's book Islamic Patterns, An Analytical and Cosmological Approach.
Breakfast with Duncan Neganigwane Pheasant Duncan Neganigwane Pheasant It’s my duty as an artist to to mention the Woodlands Medicine painting founded by Norval Morrisseau and practiced today by Duncan Neganigwane Pheasant. The style has made a very relevant impression on me. This includes practicing the ability to X-ray Dreamtime and remember the House of Invention. It would be a great misfortune not to mention this source of inspiration. I have had a correspondence with Duncan Neganigwane Pheasant since 2009 around the same time I discovered Norval Morrisseau. The coincidence is very meaningful to me. It has helped mature and guide my own artistic process. I am honored to have Duncan as a friend and brother in the fellowship of art Spiritual Silent Hunter, Duncan Neganigwane Pheasant Duncan Neganigwane Pheasant conversation in his own words April 18, 2020 I started to do art in public scho...
Neural Networking with the Holy Angel “She is so bright and glorious that you cannot look at her face or her garments for the splendor with which she shines. For she is terrible with the terror of the avenging lightning, and gentle with the goodness of the bright sun; and both her terror and her gentleness are incomprehensible to humans.... But she is with everyone and in everyone, and so beautiful is her secret that no person can know the sweetness with which she sustains people, and spares them in inscrutable mercy.” Hildegard of Bingen
Speciesation Man “I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.” ― Robert M. Sapolsky
Toxoplasmosis. "As before, the pictures are to be without titles of any kind. I want no allusions to interfere with or assist the spectator. Before them I want him to be on his own, and if he finds in them an imagery unkind or unpleasant or evil, let him look to the state of his own soul." Clyfford Still

Auto Meme Taboo 2013 Anyone who has violated a taboo becomes taboo himself because he possesses the dangerous quality of tempting others to follow his example: why should he be allowed to do what is forbidden to others? Thus he is truly contagious in that every example encourages imitation, and for that reason he himself must be shunned.

Prosthetic Man in the Swamp 2013 Mixed Media Contributory Donation to Missoula Women’s Opportunity & Resource Development “Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.” ― Terence McKenna
The Storm "In this reality that we are in, this technologic-religious-industrial civilization is mining. It’s a mining civilization, it’s about mining. It’s about energy…They mine the being part of being human by imprinting the perception of reality that they imprint into human consciousness at birth. And then they mine the being part of being human by how they program the human to perceive reality. And take that being part of human and turn it into a form of energy to run a system. We’re fuel…In my reality, that’s what’s going on.” John Trudell
Missoula Primitives is subterranean, outsider and an independent art from the Garden City. Missoula is the weird art capital of Montana, known for it's free thinkers, artists and strong individualists. “ Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of ‘the rat race’ is not yet final .” — Hunter S. Thompson
