The Datura quartet from The Flowers of the Metaverse collection. This plant has a storied history of shamanic visionary use by both pre-Columbian peoples in North America and Witches in Europe. It's a powerful entheogen and it's also highly dangerous (like brain damage dangerous), but I'm not surprised that earlier people discovered it. Just look at a datura, it's beautiful, its scent is bewitching, and it even appears a little deadly...a suitable blossom to earn the moniker The Devil's Trumpet. I was fascinated by the concept of a hallucinogenic flower and thought it would make a good exploration for the collection.
There's a belief that the plant has something to teach you, a story to tell, secrets to be revealed, visions to show. Do you believe that the lessons come from the plant's consciousness or by the access to our subconscious or the different parts of psyche that they provide? I don't know what to think.
For the record, I've never ingested datura, nor will I probably ever will, but I find them a beautiful subject to create from because of their forms, their cultural usage, and mystery.

Today's share: Non-Duality, the 4th in a quartet of images on the datura from The Flowers of the Metaverse collection.
This flower, probably more than any others in my folio, gets a very particular reaction from people. It wasn't what I was going for with this piece but all I can say in response is "remember, flowers are reproductive organs"
I'm pretty sure that I blushed when as a teenage boy, I first saw Georgia O'Keefe paintings and had that realization of their sensuality.
Is this work provoking a similar response? Leave a comment .
Today's Share: The Revelations of Secrets, the third work in the Datura Quartet from The Flowers of the Metaverse collection. I mentioned yesterday that the datura has a history of visionary use in shamanic cultures and also for divination in witchcraft.

Today's share: When the Visions Come, the second in a quartet of images on the Datura from The Flowers of the Metaverse collection. This plant has a storied history of visionary use by both pre-Columbian peoples in North America and Witches in Europe. It's a powerful entheogen and it's also highly dangerous (like really dangerous, not scare the kids to keep them off marijuana dangerous). It's never seemed like a good idea to me to take a drug that can also cause brain damage, but I'm not surprised that earlier people discovered its use. Just look at a datura, it's beautiful, its scent is bewitching, and it even appears a little deadly...a suitable blossom to earn the moniker The Devil's Trumpet. I was fascinated by the concept of a hallucinogenic flower and thought it would make a good exploration for the collection. Your thoughts?

Nature never ceases to amaze me! I thought "what if birds and flowers could interbreed?" was a novel idea for this Flower of the Metaverse. After creating Flora Aviara #2, I learned of the existence of the Yulan Magnolia, whose blossoms resemble birds. The flower has been cultivated by Chinese Buddhists in their temple gardens for centuries. Do you think flowers can imitate birds or is this just an amazing coincidence?

Today's share: Feathered Violet from The Flowers of the Metaverse collection. Let me know what you think.
flashbackfriday Spring! One of my early flower-inspired pieces from 2003-2007. I guess I was working on the FlowersOfTheMetaverse before the metaverse even existed
Where does creativity start? I'd like to tell you about the first piece of art I connected with as a child. Leave a comment and tell me about yours.
I'm debuting two new artworks from The Flowers of the Metaverse Collection at Luminario Ballet's "Heroes, Sheroes, and Eros" performance this Friday and Saturday (2/17-18) at the Wallis Center in Beverly Hills, CA. Link in Bio.
We hear a lot about "sacred geometry" in certain circles, but it's rarely discussed how it applies to organic forms. Today's share: The Understated Sacred Geometry of Flowers was created as an exploration of that idea. What are your thoughts on sacred geometry?

I've finished signing the certificates of authenticity for Lumas Gallery 's limited edition print run of The Flowers of the Metaverse. You can see a test print of "A Gathering of Peonies" above me. What do you think? The collection is launching this spring and I'm beyond thrilled to have the opportunity.
Join my mailing list at www.carl-jacobson.com to be notified when the collection launches.
The Arrival
Today's share: The Arrival from The Flowers of the Metaverse collection. Imagining a universe where we are not alone, and the visitors are flowers, in this case magnolias.
This spring I'll be releasing select, limited edition prints from the collection through LUMAS Gallery As we near the launch, I'm sharing what I presented to them last summer. Not everything I'm sharing will be available through LUMAS so if you're interested in commissioning a print, please reach out. More exciting things are planned, follow me @carljacobson to join me on this journey.
