The Form World
The 'Form World' is a term that one finds in metaphysics. The
idea being that on the psychic planes, forms take a lower
echelon in the scheme of things on 'the other side.'
Above the Form World, sometimes referred to as the Mental
Plane, is the Formless World. This is called Dharmakaya in
Buddhism. The Formless World is conceived of as a plane of
radiant light.
I depict the Form World here in pictographic images, some of
which are anthropomorphic and figurative, though some might
regard these figurations as rather 'childlike.' In this respect I
follow in suit of the Blaue Reiter artists such as Paul Klee, who
adored the freedom of children's art.
