Sila
Relationship to others - ethics
by Sue Wiley, Kathryn Shain and others In this work sila is conceived as the harmonious working of the body not separate from the universe in which it is embedded; the weaving together of micro, macro with continuous flowing through. The Namgyal crystal cave studded with every conceivable type of natural gemstone is the body The chicken wire here represents the structure of the body, bone, cells, the coalescing into crystalline form of the earth element. The rich coloured fabrics represent the softer parts of the body plus the richness of the weaving together of the skandas, the elements, the Jungian functions etc. These are also represented by the different weavings on the outside of the form which represent from micro to macro: microbial life forms, natural environment, and our embeddedness in the sun and the wider universe. The red and blue cords represent in particular the flow through of arterial and venal blood through the heart of the body. The red ones are also the connection with -e energy and substance of the universe and hint, at a fundamental level, at the umbilical cord between the life-giving universe and each individual form. The blue ones represent the flowing of the water through the Namgyal Cave, also the flowing through and letting go of concepts, habitual formations etc as well as the inter-connectedness with other beings, and the flowing out of loving kindness. The work is also the flowering of the being, which is represented by the unfolding petals of the cave/bud. by Daniel Robinson - joint project by Mary by Alex Parigot

And perhaps others still to come!
