Description
Symbols connect our deepest thoughts with our senses. This thesis explores the
Alchemical symbols, developed by mythical deity Hermes Trismegistus, whose symbols
remnant of geometric shapes represent the classical elements of Earth, Water, Fire and
Air. Watercolor, graphite, and gesso are my primary materials as they can be manipulated by the classical element of water. With this, I can create representations of the symbols through the language of drawing. The audience is invited to open their thoughts and all senses to the Alchemical symbols and the distinctive forms that appear from the visual mixture of the materials.
