Green Tara

Art

Green Tara – active compassion

Green Tara is traditionally depicted with her eyes open and her right foot stretched out, so that she can come to your aid immediately if you ask for her support to transcend any blockage going forward. Meditating on Green Tara means connecting with the frequency of active compassion.

In the art object above, the seed syllable of Green Tara’s mantra (chanted to evoke her frequency) is set in glass.

The glass disc comes with a crystal, and a protective pouch in batik fabrics that reminds me of the colourful leg wrappings Green Tara usually wears on thangka’s.

Maria

Art, glass

Maria – unconditional, cherishing love

For me, the energy of Maria (Mary) represents a cherishing warm love, welcoming and accepting you just as you are. Unconditional love of the mothering kind.

This is depicted here as a cloak enveloping a woman and a child, in a rather abstract way. Their heads are indicated by golden halo’s. The Dutch word “koestering” is subtly sandblasted on the blue cloak. It means “cherishment”.

“Maria – koestering”

This artwork is one of a kind. Glass fusing, with a “golden healer” crystal.

Firebird

Art, glass

Firebird – a powerful transmutational frequency

During 2012-2015 I found myself drawing phoenixes or birds & eggs with flames below them, and making them in various materials.

I even started writing a short story for children: about a land that suffered under a prolonged hot & dry summer, because the young Firebird in residence refused to go up in flames – not AGAIN! – and so the seasonal change into autumn could not occur.

This unique glass artwork was made by sandblasting one of these hand-drawn phoenixes on an egg-shaped disc in glass fusing, and joining the disc with a white crystal rock. It is one of a kind. I cut out the drawing from the foil by hand; a special kind of adhesive foil protects the glass that will not be sandblasted. Then I painted the Firebird in steel blue and the flames in gold.
