SHADOW CABINET EXHIBITION

Exhibition of new paintings on panel..Cave Gallery in Los Angeles, July 2014.

The Shadow Cabinet is a faction of the House of Uncommons, the governmental system regulating the flow of life and energy within the spirit and cosmic world. Similar in a fashion to the US and UK parliamentary ruling classes, the House of Uncommons is comprised of a prime minister (Lord Overseer), dignitaries representing domestic and foreign affairs (Shadow Ministers), education officials, secretaries of state and the like. Unlike the government we know which regulates roads, people, money, etc, the House of Uncommons is responsible for regulating the ebbs and flows of the spirit. 

The Shadow Cabinet is the division of the House of Uncommons which deals directly in the oversight and regulation of the governing body itself.  Not all sentient beings or all forms of energy in the shadow realm are part of the parliamentary system.  Many congregations of energy are benign, lazy creatures that live forever by expending the minimum amount of energy required to survive.  Other forces are chaotic and crazy with no regard for governmental oversight, regulation or temperance.  If given the opportunity, these chaotic energies would quickly spiral out of control. Thus the Shadow Cabinet is absolutely necessary to closely monitor, distribute and stabilize these various energy forces of the spirit world.

This control exists not only over outer space, but inner space.. not only "out" there, but "in" here... within ourselves here on planet Earth. The members of the Shadow Cabinet, because of their role in regulatory systems, are invariably linked to ourselves here on the blue planet... because the same energy "out" there is the same within ourselves.  The balancing of power on a celestial level affects the balancing of internal power, electric function and circulation, power assemblage and the like.  Oftentimes, the emotion of dread or elation we feel here on earth, or shifts in consciousness we experience, are directly correlated to shifts in energy flow within the Shadow Cabinet within the House of Uncommons.
