Lauren Baker's Wisdom Totems - Paul Ferguson - 09-16-2023
"In the vast expanse of the desert, two monumental structures emerged: the Unity and Lunar totems. Each, while distinct in its design and symbolism, encapsulated the essence of Lauren Baker’s artistic journey and her profound understanding of the universe’s intricate tapestry.
The Lunar Totem celebrates introspection and our eternal link with the cosmos. Adorning its heart is a radiant diamond, symbolising an aura of peace and harmony. The moon, as Baker perceives, stands for reflection, intuition and our tether to the subconscious. Intertwined within the totem is the timeless Ankh, signifying life force and fertility. It became not just a work of art but a space for contemplation and connection under the vast desert sky.
Conversely, the Unity Totem serves as a harmonising force, melding both masculine and feminine energies. Its very core is marked by the alchemical earth symbol, emphasising equilibrium and interconnectedness. Anchoring it is a symbol of collaboration, urging attendees to embrace unity in a world that seeks harmonious coexistence."https://www.theupcoming.co.uk/2023/09/13/lauren-baker-an-introduction-to-the-visionary-middlesborough-artist/
