A Universal Marriage of Myth, Media, and Maize

Cornfield: An Artstory is an artistic ode to the Life we all share. As a meditation on Consciousness, Art, and our Environment, the art of Cornfield is grounded in the cycles of bountiful nature, honed in the rhythms of imagination, and expressed through the mediums of painting, sculpture, architecture, cinema, and the written word.

With the Viewer at it's center, Cornfield merges these elements into 'A Universal Marriage of Myth, Media, and Maize'

Concept rendering of the Cornfield space (76' diameter)

In Cornfield: An Artstory, art is the story, where images abound and both artistic and philosophical Truth is at play. Here search and fulfillment have come to an end. Cornfield is about You and I. It is a place to engage the power of art and myth, and express the wonder and mystery of Consciousness.

Cornfield lives in the spirit of sustainability and compassion for all peoples, animals, and creatures of our world. It is sacred ground for all to enjoy. Cornfield stands with the Conscious keeping of our Environment . . . with the Water Protectors, the Seed Mothers and Fathers, and all those working to protect Mother Earth and the sanctity of food.

Chorale Cornfield Ground 76' Diameter Room 1-2-3 (4-5)

With the understanding of Maize as Divine food, the design of the Cornfield Ground echoes the spirit of the Maize Goddess as expressed in the indigenous cultures of the Americas. Cornfield forms a 76 foot diameter circle populated with paintings and sculptures, text and cinema. In the center lives the Dais, Home to the Viewer.

There are two distinct halves of Cornfield. The upper half is home to the seven panel mural Chorale, sitting atop a wooden architecture displaying monitors within each base. The seven panels are themed on the Harvest, the cycles of nature, and the twins of effort and grace. The lower half features the five panel mural Room 1-2-3 (4-5), along with the companion painting Burning Sheaves, all illustrating the five-fold function of Consciousness. Together they form the organic whole that is Cornfield: An Artstory, offered in service to the fire of creation, the peace of meditation, and the joy of aesthetic experience.
