inspired by the hermetic mystic, Hermes Trismegistus:
“As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul...”
The paper portal series dramatise the premise of the Axis Mundi and Anima Mundi. The ovals representing the sacred geometry of the Vesica Pisces, a conduit between the celestial and the terrestrial, they activate mythical journeys into different mystic traditions and cosmologies.
These detailed drawings were meditatively made with a 0.05 ink pen during Covid19. They represent initiatory journeys through fragmented, disembodied, altered states via stargates or portal points and they intend the viewer to see or feel a different way through in a time of stasis and entropy.
This print is reworking of The Portal of the Second Order a painting by Major J F C Fuller an early disciple of English poet and magician Aleister Crowley he became a leading member, editing order documents and its journal, The Equinox.
