Earthly Engravings
curated by Gina Zwenger
Communing with the elements; the voices that are withheld within inscriptions of texture.. The textures around us, have messages. I help translate these messages through my hearts expression.
Here, it's through Earthly Engravings.
I was in the space between, going/doing, and pausing one day. Between these two actions, I found myself tuning into the ethers, my surroundings.. I get pulled into the space of no thought, no feeling, just being. Within this space, are guiding forces; some may call it your higher self, your guides, God, or perhaps ancestors.
I was here one day, pausing between drawing line after line, guiding my pen stroke upon the roughened page. A knowing came to surface.. A message seeping in my being, “Study the trees. They are your guides in this life for guiding you to create from your heart; your Divine essence. To commune with the trees, your art… is to commune with God. Listen, & be guided”.
It was an “aha!” moment. I suddenly felt called to tune more into my Celtic Lineage. Listening further with the ancestors that guide me. Their voices, etched upon & within the surface of the Trees. Birthing, Earthly Engravings ~ imbuing Earth’s essence, love & messages within the creations, that I am able to translate. This container, is somewhere I can offer different services that involve creativity shared with others in different ways to connect deeper not only with ourselves & others but ultimately, great Mother Earth & Great Spirit.

Texture meets Texture
Throughout bloodlines, generations, and growth between the soil & the rocks.. births life. The trees speak to me, they whisper "rejoice, praise, and sing with us, as we are your elders, and you can learn from us.. You just have to listen.. Receive".
In this adventure out upon the mountain tops of the Appalachia, the bellows of the breezes whips through the strands that have grown amongst the crown of the being that has ventured all this way. She sings, she climbs, she admires.. The elders that have placed their roots deeply within the soil that grow rich upon the highest peaks, send her messages of light that radiate within and all around.
As textures of earthly enscribings dance upon her skin, she feels a pulsing.. and vibratory sensation emmulating throughout her being.. Without thought, she dances larger, sings louder, and praises the roots that hold her.
"Thank you for your being" she stammered, as she sinks deeper into her inhalation.
"Thank you for exchanging".

All done on Procreate
I got to work on a project with a Binaural app based on the Solfeggio/Gamma frequencies. Getting to participate in a project to help transcend people's well beings with sound, color, and design, was a dream.
