The Five Phases:
Archival print
3" x 16"
$55.00

This series is a visual interpretation of the Theory of the Five Phases (Wu Xing), which originated about 3,000 years ago in China. The Theory of the Five Phases states that all elements and phenomena in nature are related to each other. Different seasons and temperatures are associated with different emotions and states of mind as well as parts of the body, which in turn correlate with different colors. Most significantly, any one of these elements can be used to affect another. For example, if one is feeling great anger, meditating on green (its corresponding color) may have very positive results, transforming the anger into a more positive state of being.

Earth (Yellow)
As stated in Theory of the Five Phases, the correspondences of Yellow are: late summer, dampness, meditation, earth, sweet, and the center. As a subject of contemplation or meditation, yellow can be used to indicate or benefit difficulties with the spleen, the stomach, the mouth, and the muscles. Portrayed within Yellow is the ancient image of a flower bud, which represents Earth.

Fire (Red)
As stated in the Theory of the Five Phases, the correspondences of Red are: summer, heat, joy, fire, bitter, and the south. As a subject of contemplation or meditation red can be used to benefit sadness and isolation as well as troubles with the heart or small intestine. The symbol represented within Red is the archaic image for fire.

Metal (White)
As stated in the Theory of the Five Phases the correspondences of White are: autumn, dryness, grief, metal, spicy, and the west. As a subject of meditation or contemplation, white can be used to indicate or benefit difficulties with the lungs, the large intestine, the nose and the skin and hair. The subtle image in White is the Chinese character for metal.

Water (Black)
As stated in the Theory of the Five Phases, the correspondences for Black are: winter, cold, fear, water, salty, and the north. As a subject of contemplation or meditation black can be used to indicate or alleviate difficulties with the kidneys, the urinary bladder, the ear and the bones. Two figures with their backs to each other are depicted within Black. They represent the north.

Wind (Green)
As stated in the Theory of the Five Phases, the correspondences of Green are: spring, wind, anger, wind, wood, sour, and the east. As a subject of contemplation or meditation, green can be used to indicate or alleviate any difficulties with the liver, the gall bladder, the eyes, and the tendons. Green contains the image of two witches dancing. They represent magic or the force that awakens
all of life in the spring.

Yin:
Archival print

6" x 6" $55
12" x12" $85

Chinese philosophy holds that
everything in the world can be described, explained and further divided into the Yin-Yang duality. Yin and Yang oppose each other and yet at the same time are interdependent. When the body is experiencing a balance between Yin and Yang, health is predominant. When Yin and Yang are imbalanced, disease occurs.
Yin is predominantly yellow to demonstrate its association with the Earth. Yin also corresponds to the moon shown by the silver circle, and night represented by the black lines. The lower body, the interior body, and the abdomen are aspects of Yin, which also corresponds to the qualities of coolness, dampness, of stillness and inwardness.
