When something is pointless, it has no center holding it together

I'm working on my steamroller print for this weekend: It's a large - scale woodcut, up to 8'x4', that is printed at UT every Open house in March. 

I have done about 8 of them, but this year I wanted to have a more spiritual concept; one that also synchronizes with this year's them: Sacred, Nature, Space, Healing. 

I was meditating on my favorite sacred heart image, and I thought I'll carve one of those! Through a google search on sacred heart imagery I learned a bit about it and quickly moved on to sacred geometry, which I know nothing about. 

I'm horrible at science, and I practically failed Geometry I just couldn't get it, and I never could solve the theorems that my teacher had on the board each day. I thought I was hopeless. Am I hopeless? Probably not.

Anyway, I came across this amazing slideshow that explains Sacred Geometry and I wanted to share. 
I haven't come up with a steamroller design, but when I do I'll post. 

Here's two years ago's 8' "Peacocks" I've never stretched them across canvas. They're for sale as is for $1000. I'd rather that they be in your home than in my basement. Contact me if you have an interest!

Here are my Highlights of the Sacred Geometry Slideshow: 

1. When something is pointless, it has no center holding it together. 
2. The Paradox of the Two - Dyad, is that opposite poles remember their source and attract each other in an attempt to merge and return to a state of unity. 
3. A minimum of three elements is required to weave into a whole (think braid).  The principle of the triad can teach us how to resolve conflict. No enduring resolution of any kind possible without three aspects; two opposites and a neutral, binding, balancing, arbitrating presence. 
4. Four is the birth of 3-dimensionality. WHOA. 
5. The flower of every edible fruit has 5 pedals. 
6. The universe moves and transforms in spirals, never in straight lines - for example plant growth. 
7. a Hexagon works in situations requiring strength and stability (ie: hexnuts)
8. nature does not produce heptagons, nothing in the mineral world is 7 - sided. 

I love these info slides! 

Sacred Geometry is the arrangement, configuration, composition, and planning of forms used for the architectural plans of sacred buildings: churches, mosques, temples, altars, and other religious monuments. 

These shapes are coming up a lot in sacred geometry: 
Fractals, Golden Spiral, (related to Phi) Flower of Life (figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles. 

This is fun!
