Raja-Tama!
Guardian created for Global Eclipse Gathering.
Was super fun playing with all the wood on site, as well as interacting with its surrounding environment. So much character with each piece of wood on site made this a very captivating experience. Completely free styled this creation. This design was inspired to create a safe presence for the intense eclipse energy happening this past week. Best of all, this piece is there to stay! Thank you to Katie Mathews Ian Tuma and So Pi for all the help. Straight rockstars!! #hoodiesalinas 📷: @colorsteps

Just finished this 9ft piece at COSM Chapel of Sacred Mirrors today! Design in collaboration with Alex Grey based off his painting "Blessed". Inspired by the Christ Pantocrator. The most common translation of Pantocrator is "Almighty" or "All-powerful" or "Sustainer of the world".

Had a lot of fun sculpting this hand. Frame was completely sourced from scraps from the Entheon build, with wood half sourced onsite and offsite from the Hudson River. First time making hands this anatomically correct and to this scale. Super stoked how it came out and even more so being able to capture the natural movement. Overall a fun process! Always feel extremely relaxed here at CoSM. Thank you fam for everything and always keeping the vibes high!! Till next time!

Output rooftop is complete! Installation will be up for the season. Always a pleasure/seamless/wild/fun/exquisite time collaborating with Pao Lopez and all the new/old friends here in New York. Super humbled to work with a beautiful bunch of humans!

Let me introduce to you "Palm and Frond". Thanks Stephan Fils!!

Inspired by all the beautiful reptiles that inhabit St Marrten island. 

Nearly made up entirely from fallen palm tree fronds and seed shells. Was a nice challenge for myself since there is not much driftwood on this island, so I had to compromise with what was available. Extremely stoked to open up to new materials I had no idea were so versatile and beautiful to work with. Level up!

Stage set up for SXM Festival this year. With plant deco by the incredibly talented Pao Lopez and Kevin Rubio Ortiz . Lighting design by Graphics eMotion.

Without a doubt this whole experience here has been hands down the best time of my life...

Just finished this piece at COSM Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. Created on a oak tree that has been dead for years. Giving him a new life🌱Design in Collaboration with Alex Grey. No official name yet, we've been calling him the Tree shaman Terrence McKenna green man shrine 😊

This whole experience has been surreal. Words don't even come close to express what I'm feeling right now other than I'm extremely thankful for the path I'm on 🙏🏼

Thanks to everyone at CoSM for this beautiful experience! Such a lovely community! 

This place is very special sacred place. If anyone is in New York, this is a must see location ✨ — in Wappingers Falls, New York.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players" - William Shakespeare
One of my all time favorite quotes.
This stage was built for Luminosity GatheringFestival, BC Canada last month. Inspired by the cartoons I used to watch as a kid when the Angel and Demon would appear on the characters shoulders telling them what move they should make next. Because what's light without the dark? We have to remember and embrace the two because it's in all of us. 

Had a lot of fun making this out in the woods and hanging with the family that owns the property. Big thanks to the homie Nishan Padayachee for all the help!! And Luminosity crew for hosting such an awesome event! Sigma 1 for the insane light show and design :)

Sometimes divine revelation simply means adjusting your mind to what your heart already knows." -Dan Brown

Dedicated to everyone going through big transitions 🌙
Symbiosis 2016

Nature loves courage.
You make the commitment & nature will respond by removing impossible obstacles. dream the impossible dream, & the world will not grind you under. it will lift you up. hurl yourself into the abyss and discover ..it's a feather bed. - Terrance McKenna

"Chakira"
Envision Festival, Costa Rica 2016. Design collaboration with Jacquelin Pitre! Inspired by the Heart Chakra Symbol , "Chakira" is the heart in human form. What better way to express the heart than through dance and in community?! ;D We wanted to create something interactive as well. Notes of prayer and positive intention were buried around the sculpture in each petal: "Love," "Inspire Positivity," "Release Suffering," "Amplify Joy," "In-Joy," "Be Free," and "Embrace." The petals (designed as "lounge chairs") and notes were meant to cradle people who stepped into the piece environment.

"No place like Om"
*Thanks Pinecone Jones*
(Mirror image, just one done. Having fun with this new app!)

Permanent art installation for Paradise One community in Coorabell, Australia. One of the coolest places I've ever been to, filled with so many amazing skilled people all on the same vibe. Feeling pretty blessed to actually getting an insight of a developed community living together and create space for everyone. Everyone here contributes. Massive property filled with gardens, lil homes, community center, workshops, recycled rain water, tree house recording studio (in development), beautiful creek running along the outer edges of the land. What they have going on here is extremely special and I'm more than honored to now be a part of it. Highly recommend any you friends to give the place a visit if you're ever in the north/east coast of Australia.

Decided to make an Om Symbol because of how I felt when I was on site, what was going on there and how centered I was with myself, the universe and this alignment that brought me there.

"Om" or "Aum" is the universal sound that vibrates in the universe. Chanting this sound helps to bring peace and calm to the body, mind and soul by merging the vibrations of the body with that of the universe. Try it out, It's powerful, WE'RE unbelievably powerful.

Some serious crazy alignment in how this opportunity came about. Still bugging me out lol

Thank you everyone involved and the new friends made!!!!
That was magic!!
Thank you Josh Paigen Frankston Lillee!!

*Mama Jaguar*
Inspired by the Jaguar spirit animal of the Boruca, indigenous tribe of Costa Rica.

"The Jaguar’s medicine- Seeing the roads within chaos and understanding the patterns of chaos, moving without fear in the darkness, moving in unknown places, shape shifting, psychic vision, facilitating soul work, empowering oneself, reclaiming power."
