Education from the centre, out

Unpacking the intelligence of nature, through form, pattern and practice.

Drawing from the pattern language of nature

To discover what underlies our relationship with the world

Empowering creativity, resiliency, and connectedness.

Learn to listen what the world is saying to us, in her own language…

Comprehend

Using number and harmonic pattern as our lens, discover the many hued tapestry where contemporary science, ancient wisdom, and the natural world meet in form and space.

In an ancient lens, numbers themselves have innate qualities. Across the web of cultures, we find a coherent tapestry connected through the simple and profound meanings of simple numbers and relationships.
From the six circles that tile to fill a flat plane, to the pentagonal structure of life. 2 & 3D space has its own inherent shape. This shape sculpts what nature does, and can guide us to make elegant, efficient design choices.
Musical harmony is defined by the relationship between two vibrations. The simpler this relationship, the more pleasing the sound… From this simple formula unfurls the unique geometric world of acoustic harmony, elegantly simple, and frustratingly elusive at the same time.
The same proportions, shapes, and harmonic relationships that govern music and geometry, govern the relationships between the bodies in our solar system. The beauty of the patterns we discover is striking.

Cultivate

Through drawing, 3D construction, and contemplative practice, I invite you to enrich your own awareness of harmonic relationships in the creative discipline that you’re cultivating.

20 years ago I would have sworn to you I didn’t have a visual artistic bone in my body… Through discovering this body of work, I found the tool to unlock a creativity that i didn’t know I had. I believe the same can be true for you.
The principles of harmonic form lend themselves to creating spaces of tranquility and contemplation. Whether it is in your own personal space, or as an offering to a wider community - understanding the language spoken by the numbers and forms you choose to use is invaluable.
From a peaceful practice designed to bring you into the moment, to an artistic offering connected back through time - mandala craft is a beautiful way to explore the rich forms of harmonic proportion.
Through a deepened understanding of 3D geometry, you can open up new trajectories for sculpture. Learn both practical and aesthetic elements of geometric construction in 3D.

Create

Open new doors to in your creative practice drawing from nature’s un-ending guide book of elegant, interconnected, and meaning-filled forms.

Learn the art of compass drawing, forging a relationship with shape that goes back thousands of years - and learn the liberation of being able to create perfect patterns with just a pair of simple tools.
Contemplative practice is a wonderful lens for exploring the physical reality of our bodies, the space we inhabit, and the geometric connection between them.
Traditional drawing practices, and the harmonic forms of sacred geometry are a rich tool for stirring creative thought. From creating the compositional framework for a new piece, or using a pattern to draw your mind into a new discovery.
By learning from and emulating the simple formulas of nature, our skills as designers are enhanced, and our design solutions are more all encompassing, and successful.
