CONTEMPLATIVE ENVIRONMENTS

Through organic processes over time, I became keenly focused on the creation of contemplative environments, both solely-created and collaborative. Two projects were transformational, Propagation, 1988-96 and the Healing Arbor, 1997-2017, included in this series.

This environment honors the 50th Anniversary of the Woodstock Festival and the psychedelic era. Simulated stained glass components create a journey through time, as well as a journey to achieve higher consciousness. Mandala components hang from living trees. Hand-painted rocks were contributed by community members. Benches invite contemplation.
