Yang Wood Dragon

From April 4th - May 4th, we enter the reign of the Yang Wood Dragon. 

The Dragon is the only mythical animal of the Chinese zodiac and represents our connection to the supernatural. It symbolizes the pinnacle of evolution, our ultimate metamorphosis and our highest self. The Dragon shares the House of Spirituality with the Yin Snake, which is considered the mystic. As the yang counterpart, the Dragon is the magician, ruling over all things other-worldly with theatrical flamboyance.

Coupled with Yang Wood, the element of spring and conception, this month accentuates the Dragon's strength in a nurturing way. The pioneering, self-starter attitude of the Dragon will be heightened and directed towards generosity and cooperation. Creativity and imagination are especially alive. Because Wood destroys Earth (the Dragon's ruling element) by pulling out its vitality, beware of making reckless and destructive choices, as the Dragon's love of risk-taking may entice but deplete you.  

The best way to work with this month's animal and element is to participate exuberantly in the theater of life! Allow the Dragon's influence to draw you to the exotic and the unknown. Let the element of Yang Wood fill your ambitions with imagination and service towards others. This is a time of activation in the public sphere. We are being called to see the social, cultural and political stage we live in as theater - which is to say, a magical experience. We will need to activate our role as creative players, see clearly where we are being deceived by illusion, and call in our highest evolution in the dramas of transformation.

Zétéo Music Video

Zétéo Animation Premieres on Vice!

The stop-motion animation, Zétéo, premieres in Vice Creator's Project and Vice China. Jyun Jyun and I created this work, which involved over 1000 still images, while on retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii. Zétéo refers to the concept of soul-reunion, as described in Socrates' Symposium. Read our interviews on this project in the links above.

The Bison Comes To Life

The most important thing for me to capture in this piece was the theme of Gentle Power and quiet, benevolent strength. I wanted the animals to make a formidable statement while using soft, plush and regal materials that draw you in. These qualities capture the essence of the person who this piece was created for. 

Commissions involve a consultation/interview, a reading, and the creation of a custom mask as a sacred object for the individual. It can be used as a reminder of the divine essence of the person, an invocation of a future self, or an embodiment of that person's animal totems, spiritual guides and ancestors. 

Materials: paper maché, acrylic, wool, mirror, crushed turquoise, crushed stones, gold leaf, guinea fowl feathers, jungle cock eye feathers, other natural feathers, leather, thread and mink eyelashes. 32" x 18.5" x 9"
