To start the new year on an epic pace, DreamCo descended upon the amazing new Temple of Visions Gallery in downtown Los Angeles. This gigantic gallery dedicated to the emergence of visionary art has hosted many of today’s cutting edge artists. Our task was to design an installation on the walls of the main gallery.

Aligning ourselves with the vision of the Gallery, it became essential to expand ourselves in order to produce an installation that defied our individual styles and techniques in favor of a timeless universal aesthetic.
Beginning from the ground, we determined that gold leaf would be our medium for the Temple. Using only a compass, each of the 37 ‘eyes’ were drawn on the wall, composed of a pair of superimposed Vesica Piscis. As one of the essential basic forms of sacred geometry, this repeating image shone forth with a universal quality enhanced greatly by the reflective gold.
Upon completion of the foundation, we looked to further the presentation in many other areas. Standing in splendored reflection are two gilded peacocks, auspicious totems of the visionary gallery. Atop one wall is a gold leaf phyllotaxis dome, which in proper lighting becomes a completely 3D ecstatic winged eye. Opposite this wall is a 36 foot wide geometric mosaic mural, integrating sand tones with the gold leaf, this complex pattern was mapped out by hand atop a 12 foot ladder.

The Temple of Visions Art Vigil lasted 9 days, including multiple 48-hour shifts. After so many transformational experiences in the unveiling of this gallery, forging beautiful alliances with all who have made the Temple come into being, it feels like home.

The Temple of Visions is located at 719 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90014
