1977- Dakini House

'Dakini House', wooden doll's house, resin and fiberglass, life-cast heads and breasts, dolls, jewels, brocades, lights and mixed media.

This is the most major of my 'Doll's House' series. I took the colors of the rainbow for 7 rooms, related them to the 7 chakras and placed a different dakini within each one. The central chamber represents the white light and the ninth chamber above it shows the full spectrum of the blend of all colors. These last two rooms house no dakinis because they represent going beyond form, or the charkas above the head or the subtle body. As well as relating to the charkas, the rooms and their dakinis represent different elemental energies. The life casts above are all of my own head, there are 7 faces altogether, for the 7 dakinis decorated with appropriate symbolism, and arrayed after the fashion of a Tibetan Stupa, with 7 levels beneath them. Here the house as self is seen as full of dakini energy and rainbow light.

    • "Enchantments of sunsets, the stars, iridescence of peacocks, impossible dream houses. Aladdin's treasury and the feast of Belshazzar, set in motion by that elusive element of 'charm', stimulated by a perception of esoteric wisdom.."
    • Sir Roland Penrose, 1977.
