The Cross-Pollinatrix / Mutable Gods III
24” X 36”
Commission
I was honored to create this commissioned mosaic for an amazing woman who is a (r)evolutionary community-builder, sowing love in all its forms.
The Cross-Pollinatrix
When a goddess is born with an infinite heart, there is no other path but to create new universes expansive enough to reflect its radiance.
An infinite variety of flowers bursts from the breasts of the Cross-Pollinatrix. The blooms are the worldly manifestation of the song in her heart, her own melody of abundance—her gifts to all the worlds, so that when those new universes are born, they may begin in beauty and love.
And those flowers that happen to fall to the ground, rather than into grateful hands, find their way back into the soil to nourish miracles yet to come.
As she offers her blooms, she dances to all of the beats of the multiverse. And though to the naked eye it may on occasion appear she dances alone, that would be an illusion: She draws on the heartbeats of all the creatures in all the worlds to dance her infinite song—an improvisational harmony that can only be seen and heard with the heart.
Her message is this:
Our hearts never stop growing; nor does our song.
Let your own flowers flow from your heart, those blossoms that are the exquisitely expressive notes of YOUR song. Let them burst forth and give them, with purpose, as gifts: bouquets of flower-notes that transform us in the giving and in the receiving.
Know that your song is infinite, and I will always provide the harmony—just listen for me with your all-in heart. Our heartstrings are connected, and they are meant to be played together.
That is the path of love.

My Process:
Series: Third in the Mutable Gods series. New earths need mutable gods: these are the divinities who birth and rebirth themselves, shapeshifting beyond the binary to emerge in their rooted, ecstatic power.
Archetypes: Newborn universes need new archetypes: Introducing the Cross-Pollinatrix.
Inspiration: Cross-pollinating love across space and time, seeds that bloom into the improvisational harmony of wisdom, leading with light.
Materials: Blue lace agate, ammonite, blue apatite, chalcopyrite, chevron amethyst, celestite, amazonite, malachite, turquoise, dyed aura quartz, selenite, Arkansas clear quartz, apophylite, seed pearls, vitreous, mirrored, and ceramic tiles, stained glass. Love.
Mutable Gods Series
Brand new universes need new gods.
The desires of our gods create our patterns: physical, material, and otherwise. We need new patterns.
In remnants and relics of ancient civilizations, we see over and over again images, bas-reliefs, and idols of fertility: lovers in ecstatic union, pregnant bellies, vaginas, phalluses, water, fields, seeds, flowers—omnipresent reminders of abundance and fecundity, and our role in its infinite cycle.
What are the daily reminders we see scattered around us today? Pop-up ads, billboards, commercials: reminders of the gods of lack.
New universes—these origami folds of pure potential, cross-pollinations of the new paradigm of pleasure—need new gods.
Who, or what, are these new divine beings? Nothing so one-dimensional as “omnipotent,” that tired myth. Nothing so remote as some pristine, disembodied god. No, nothing untouchable can remain, for everything—everything—is here to be held.
This new paradise calls for sensual, shape-shifting divinities with dirt under their nails. Pleasure creators, magicians who play in the mud, broken beings who shift and shimmer, reflect and refract light and shadow and all their shades, whose cracks flow with liquid-crystal, full-blooded ichor and oceans of murky emotion.
These co-creator gods, shapeshifters all, share one wild, tiny, immutable aspect: their humanity.
Welcome to the new pantheon. What’s the thing that only YOU can create? That’s your r/evolution.
