Carey Thompson – Portals and bioconstructions

I wanted to share this folder with the Pod community of various installations I’ve created over the years from 2005 to the present. They range considerably in size, scope, and materials used. I really love to create spaces intended to connect people with the natural order, as sacred architecture has for millennia. It is especially enjoyable to create structures that can then be activated with the most current lighting concepts and projections.  Mostly, these structures exist within the festival culture, but I hope to continue to evolve the designs to create more permanent installations in different settings. Coming up this summer, I will be designing and building the main stage area at the Boom festival in Portugal. Fellow podulars will be joining me to collaborate including Xavi, Andrew Jones, and Luke Brown. I will then be returning to the west coast to construct a large portal for the Center Camp of Burning Man. I finally applied for a grant from Burning Man and I am very excited that my proposal was accepted and they will be funding the project. I will post again by the fall to share what was created. I hope you all enjoy. Thanks….

About Carey Thompson

It is our responsibility as humans to shift our relationship with the spirit of nature and restore our connectedness with all that is before we move beyond the point of no return and ensure our own destruction. This shift needs to occur within, deep within our consciousness, so that it can permeate throughout our bodies into our behaviors and life patterns so that the collective may be restored as it once was, in true resonance with the rest of life on this planet and the rest of life in the universe. I have discovered that the arts are perhaps the most powerful tool towards this goal. I have been deeply inspired by the creative offerings of others, through music, painting, dance, as well as by the art that surrounds us all the time in the form of forests, beaches, mountains, and rivers.
