The capacity of art--both visual and verbal--to stimulate creativity and personal growth is the theme of this challenging collection from an internationally known artist. In "Art Psalms, "Renaissance man Alex Grey combines poems, artwork, and thoughtful declarations that fuse imagination, creativity, and spirituality. Replicating the style and tone of a holy text, Grey's poetry conveys the idea of art as a sacred, spiritual practice. Many of these writings have been shared as sermons at New York City's Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (COSM), a contemporary sacred space founded by Grey and his wife Allyson. Selections include "Soul Marriage," a pledge that asks the reader to commit to personal and world transformation; "Guidance for Servants of God," which outlines the lifestyle and view of a sacred path; and "The Plan," which links universal creation to our own creations in daily life. Equally useful for art lovers, the health and spiritual communities, and anyone seeking to develop their creativity, "Art Psalms "features fifty drawing exercises of sacred geometry that connect the reader with the transformative creative process.
