Sacred Machine Drawings

Many works in the Sacred Machine Drawing Series begin with photographs of trees—sources of structure, memory, and pattern. These images are auto-traced, processed into layers, and rendered through a dedicated “drawing machine,” a robotic plotter that translates vector data into dense, intricate fields of ink. Other drawings originate from algorithmic sacred-geometry software, where numerical relationships generate forms that unfold with architectural precision. A key technique throughout the series is bookmatching, a mirroring process borrowed from woodworking and stonecutting; in the symmetry it creates, the mind instinctively projects faces, beings, and portals, echoing the ancient belief that such reflections offer glimpses of the divine.

Whether grown from organic source images or generated from geometric algorithms, the works build complexity through repetition, overlapping, and shifts in scale. Branches become veined cathedrals, forests dissolve into apparitions, and radiating linework reads like energetic fields. The drawing machine becomes both instrument and collaborator, producing images that feel at once mechanical and deeply spiritual—patterns that invite viewers into a state of quiet attention, where the boundaries between nature, mathematics, ritual, quantum science, and ancient Vedic teachings begin to blur.
