Desire – III (A Sculptural Installation )

... the two luminous, counter-posed cones, whose foci frame an area of power. The energy of each respective mass meeting in a charged sphere of absence, reminiscent of the area of 'creation' poised between the fingers of God and Adam.

The power of creation emblematized by an absence, or no THING. On another note one presumes, through cultural conditioning that a clean geometry is synonymous with light. This light can be transformed into different colors symbolic of an identity.

The inherent contradiction of Earth (celestial, volumetric, dark etc.) emitting or supporting Light (heavenly, brightness, sky, etc.) is a powerful conjunction of symbols held in dynamic
opposition.

... the descending cone of spirit about to merge with the ascending cone of matter.

Taoists refer to these energies as yin (from yoni-the receptive principle) and yang (the active principle). A variety of images and metaphors are used to express this harmonious interdependence. The spousal pair Shiva-Shakti (Yab-Yum) is a tantric consort image. Shiva is said to be the male principle throughout creation, Shakti the female principle. There, the embraced posture represents the divine strength of creation.

... they symbolize that enraptured state where separateness is no more.
