About the Art

Hilma af Klint & Emma Kunz were at the forefront of the Spiritualist movement. Two channels whose works have moved me in ways that I don't have words to describe (which is saying a lot given that my mercury is in Gemini)! Both Kunz and af Klint consciously collaborated with spirit to create their works. A kind of innovation that cannot emerge out of the perceptions of our intellect or our ego, but from the infinite wisdom available only to our soul. The patterns always have a purpose – to protect, to heal, to balance, to connect; they contain so much knowledge and convey pertinent information. So much information that when I first experienced af Klint's work live, security at the Gugghenheim had to ask me to leave because the museum had closed and my jaw still laid open on the museum floor. These messages are not directed at our conscious mind, which is slow to understand the language of sacred geometry and pattern, but to our higher consciousness, our childlike self, our true self, our spirit, the essence of who we really are. The aspect of the self that has been with us for lifetimes that so many of us never get to meet.

Hilma af Klint

Hilma af Klint was a Swedish artist that knew her work was meant to assist human evolution, yet she had no idea how or why; the paintings worked at a level her conscious mind did not understand. She noted that Gregor, one of the spiritual beings that advised her, described what she was to illustrate as: “All the knowledge that is not of the senses, not of the intellect, not of the heart but is the property that exclusively belongs to the deepest aspect of your being… the knowledge of your spirit.”

Emma Kunz

Emma Kunz was a Swiss artist, healer and channel, utilizing her telepathic and prophetic abilities from the age of 18 years old. She saw herself as a researcher, a researcher of her inner and outer world. Kunz believed that the drawings she created had their own life energy, and that the geometric illustrations held the answers to life. She used her drawings to aid her in the healing of her patients in conjunction with her pendulum which also shaped many of the works she illustrated throughout her life.
