Art
This artistic practice and the architectural practice of Alchemy of Grace arise within the same living architecture. One expresses through visual symbolism. The other expresses through relationships, governance, records, structures and systems.
Several of these appear across the site as tool symbols. A symbol is a window into a larger work: the crop, and any circle drawn around it, belong to the site and not to the original painting. They also appear now and then as a small opening in the dark. They carry meaning; we write down only what has been recorded. Where a title or a meaning has not been confirmed, we say so or leave it unwritten.
Lantern
Working title
A lantern hanging from a branch against a warm, moon-colored ground.
Travels with the Lantern tool wherever Lantern appears, with its edge softened. The whole original painting is not in the files the site holds; only this presentation is.
As a tool mark on the site: a soft window into this work. The mark is a crop; the work is not that shape.View the full image of Lantern

Grace’s star
Working title
An eight-point bright yellow star with a white spiral at its heart, on a purple star field.
Travels with Grace; sits beside her true state, which today is that her conversation is quiet. The site shows a window of this work as Grace’s mark.
