The platonic solids are the shapes that underlie our observable reality and structure all features of the universe as we know it. Making up the core patterns of physical creation, each solid is connected to an element (water, fire, earth, air & aether/spirit) and together they encapsulate life and sacred creation. These shapes make up the micro and macro of our world, a reminder of the principle of interconnectedness that is a suggestive nod to our individual relationship to the whole.
In an attempt to capture the essence of these places, I've been weaving elemental symbols of the platonic solids into a series of images I took cheapest in 2019-2020. There are 10 images, two of each element — fire, earth, air, water & spirit. The pieces in this limited series are an offering for those too who find comfort in the harmony of the universe. Each one is hand woven and an original edition of 3. 20% of sales from this series will be donated to Gathering of Rivers for Community Care to provide relief for the Neskantaga Water Crisis. Neskantaga First Nation has been under a boil-water advisory for 26 years, and recently forced into an evacuation while a water crisis in their home community is being resolved.
