Multidimensional worlds! Interpenetrating universes!
Bright colors and fantastic shapes!
Swimming birds and flying fishes that inhabit the imagination!
Birds of Paradise!
I created this picture of wool in a felt technique at the end of 2012 at a time of vigorously awaiting of great shift in which the worlds merge, forms overflow, and dreams about a more beautiful world becomes increasingly dense, bright and more pretty.
Lightweight chaos is the result of this period of general change and movement in all layers of reality and consciousness, but it is also a symbol of life - this eternal birth and self-generating process of crossing the Spirit into matter and vice versa.
In fact the theme of the wall hanging is a celebration of life - everlasting, exciting and beautiful, colorful and multi-dimensional.
Different to our senses in manifestation, but united in its integrity!
Heavens towards which we aspire, but that we actually permanently create!
The Paradise, where we really live!
And this Paradise is possible and affordable, even just we to assume to change our perceptions to feel multidimensional reality in which we are immersed, and that we really are!

You can see these so unique birds in the series of video clips in YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLttRvLKj7SJY-_tY4eDYkfP3ZCjsUkwYn .
When I created the felt art tapestry I was not seen those movies. The textile picture is the fruit of pure inspiration! How nice is that this work of Mother Nature somehow can be felt by the invisible senses, and when you see that it really exists, you are amazed!
