Forest Beings - Art by Charleen Touchette - Spring 2010When I layer images from earth and sky, then play with them, faces, figures, animals, plants and energies magically appear and change as the eye travels across the image. There is a kinetic energy within the image that interacts with the viewer. It appears from my initial observations that different people see different unique faces and entities looking at the same piece of art.
Bringing focus to center reveals a complex geometric hexagon, the number six. The hexagon, or Jewish Star, combines two triangles, the three of the isoceles triangle representing male energy with the inverted female triangle, thus embodying balance of male and female or yin and yan.
Multiplicity distills into eight points radiating from four directions out of center circle.
The core is the number one at the center of the number four. The oneness of being at the center and crossroads of the four directions. Creation manifests outward in diversity and multiplicity and is at its center one. God is One.
As I repeatedly double, flip and manipulate layers of the forest image, geometric shapes and structures emerge resembling complex mosaics, Navajo and Persian rug patterns and Medieval stained glass windows.
