Resonance – The Flow of Compassion is an installation reflecting on the fractal, crystalline nature of being. The Hundredth Monkey Theory, written by Ken Keys, is a philosophy that celebrates the opportunity for humankind and society to escalate lasting change. The one hundredth monkey is the arbitrary ‘tipping point’ signifying the critical number for a breakthrough of new behavior, new awareness, to come round to fruition. The idea was based on the philosophy of Rupart Sheldrake’s morphic resonance, an inherent collective memory that influences behavior. Human communication, like water, flows, clears, breaks, and expands. It pushes creative thought to manifestation.

This piece is executed on CMale digitally printed CAD fabric with over-painting and embroidery. Metallic embroidery thread is made reflective through led lighting. Electroluminescent thread is also incorporated, pushing the boundaries of textile design by combining the functionality of a wire with the luminescence of a light source. The work will be visible any time of day or night.
