Axis Mundi, Saint Mary’s College Art Museum, Moraga, California, 2016

The Axis Mundi / Open Portals project utilizes horizontal and vertical panoramic photographs captured while crisscrossing the United States and Europe. I look for locations that reveal some life affirming connection to a unique set of physical and psychological features. Those features function as a creative catalyst for my art making practice and a provisional center of my personal world  -- the Axis Mundi. The art works for this project emerge from the mapping of my unique cyber geography.  They utilize techno-ritualized methods for the invocations of a mythopoetic consciousness in order to produce a set of networked and interactive art works. The pieces are available for download by viewers as a free offering to our interdependency as humans in this astounding world.
