1:11 Sapphire Portal  (2007)

The Sapphire Portal was inspired by concepts in “The Emerald Modem: A Users Guide to the Earth’s Interactive Energy Body”(2004 ). Author Richard Leviton describes etheric “blue dishes” under all sacred sites that collect subtle cosmic energies and distribute them into the earth and atmosphere. I designed a sky blue dish 61 feet in diameter and 9 1/2 feet high with sky blue carpet to physically manifest this idea while providing an environment of floating in the sky. In the middle are three geometric forms that embody Leviton’s concept of the Earth’s energy body evolving from its current geometric form to an icosidodecahedron, a shape that has both 20 triangles and 12 pentagons. At the very center a plywood half dodecahedron painted deep red houses the Quasar Wave Transducer sound sculpture that produces low frequency vibrations in the range of brain waves and earth resonance.
