Richmond IONS June Meeting Program Title:
“How Art Shapes Shape Us, the Next Installment.”
Our June 15, 2019 program will feature a much requested follow-up talk by Vandorn Hinnant, Durham, N.C. He is a painter, sculptor, poet and educational consultant. His talk will be moderated by his wife, AnaMaria Walle.
From an early age, Vandorn Hinnant consistently endeavored to translate his inner visions and other-dimensional experiences into something he could share with the world. In 1989 he began his formal studies of Sacred Geometry under the tutelage of physicist and inventor Robert L. Powell, Sr., who became his mentor.
Since that fate-filled day, Vandorn has developed a body of two and three-dimensional works of art, painting and sculpture. In fact, some have recognized his works as more than art. Meanwhile, many have encountered them and experienced transformative and expanded states of awareness.
“Before We Knew: From The Mother of Everything” – Artwork by Vandorn Hinnant
Vandorn draws inspiration from naturally occurring geometries and utilizes the Golden Ratio. The Golden Ratio is also known as The Golden Proportion or Section. Using these, Vandorn creates elegant compositions that embody fractal phenomena.
In doing so, he joins a long line of artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Salvador Dali. They too have used empirical methods to achieve aesthetic ends.
AnaMaria Walle began her studies of metaphysics in 1973 and never stopped. She tracked down Vandorn when she saw an image of one of his works, entitled “Voice,” on a postcard while on the West Coast. Her immediate response was, “I must meet whoever created this work of art.”
Now together for 17 years (married for 5), they continue to collaborate, exploring inspirations they encounter in the realm of the metaphysical.
Join Vandorn and AnaMaria in conversation and entertaining questions posed by the audience. They will share images of Vandorn’s work, along with creative explorations they have pursued such as pyramid power, meditation chambers and more!
