Transforming Uncertainty: Circles of Time

The Circles of Time sanctuary grows from a vision and environmental language developed over a lifetime. At its roots, the sanctuary encourages a wide view and resilience during challenging times. It seeks to propagate full engagement in life, death and regenerative cycles.It grows from a vision and environmental language developed over a lifetime.

Longtime concerns of nature’s cycles includes states of fragility and uncertainty. My visual and conceptual language integrates living and dead natural elements with simulated stained glass components. Color, transparency and light will activate layered hand-painted elements to achieve holographic effects. Site-specific structures, composed of natural elements will interweave with man-made, ephemeral components as all merges with the surroundings. The environment will include a central arbor, as well as organic landscaping, seating and pathways, leading to various parts of the property.

Fabrication of stained lexan components will be installed gradually, along with benches and landscaping. Illuminated by changing daily and seasonal sun cycles, as well as solar lighting, the sanctuary will propagate peace and groundedness. Project phases will be well documented.
