From the Artist: “I started out this piece with the desire to create something that was different from my prior ones. Firstly, I was curious to see if a Sacred Geometry piece could be created based on the number 1. I also had the intuitive feeling that a cube-like shape was wanting to present. Additionally, an image had been in my mind’s eye for weeks of two triangles, one on top of the other, with the bottom one being larger, inverted, and having a metallic feel to it. The circles and vesica piscis soon emerged in the Sacred Geometry process. I felt this whole symbol had significant meaning that is a reminder of Soul origins. It’s a key . . . and an inter-dimensional gateway.

Normally when I create a Sacred Geometry piece, I don’t start with any specific image or element in mind; the image manifests on the paper as I go. However, I felt intuitively the image of the triangles was to be my starting place of the entire piece as well as one of the focal points.

Another focal point was the ‘eye’ at the top, which is actually another gateway. This emerged at the very end of creating the entire piece.

The final element I knew I wanted before I started was to incorporate all the colors of the rainbow with the primary one being orange. It’s a color I tended to stay away from in my art since it has a distinctly ‘active’ vibration vs. soothing and it usually doesn’t go well with some of my favored high-vibe colors: magentas, purples, and pinks. I knew I needed to break free of this ‘bias’ and get comfortable with orange. After all, it’s the color most associated with the 2nd Chakra – the Creative Chakra.

This piece became an amazing spiral of radiant light and vibrant colors! I could feel its undulations with every turn and aimed to shade each segment accordingly as the color spectrum unfolded. At the same time, I was to hint at the cuboidal 3-dimensional aspect. This was a bit of a challenge and a delicate balance in creating both impressions simultaneously. But what a marvelous delight when it all came together and the piece became alive!

Having it on various items around my home and creative spaces activates immediate positive feelings and aliveness for me. Whenever it catches my eye, that burst of inspiration is a pleasant surprise every time! An involuntary smile and happy feelings emerge before my mind realizes what happened!”

Core Expression emanates a harmonic resonance that facilitates expression of the viewer’s Inner Being. Radiating from one’s core, it spirals that expression through all the chakras, activating each in balance along the way. Like the Sun naturally shines in just being itself, the viewer is reminded of their own Inner Sun, Power, Presence, Radiance, and Light. Wearing this image or having it in your environment on items that you love can activate and amplify these qualities. Core Expression can also catalyze motivation, creative expression, and realization of creative solutions to any issue or project. Meditating on Core Expression through relaxed gazing with the awareness that it is a reflection of Self can deepen and further amplify these experiences. Core Expression can also be used to amplify and charge anything such as crystals and manifestation intentions written on paper placed on or under the art image or in the Keepsake Box.
