VISIONS
This portfolio includes selected works created from visions received in a meditative state. The visual art and written descriptions express what was experienced during the vision and creation process.
“Like a great harp played throughout humanity. The field resonant with its song.”
Rachael Pullin, Harp of Life, 2022. Graphite and gold on paper.
During a meditation, I saw dynamic golden forms spiraling upward. They were strands of DNA.
In this vision, the DNA was played like a harp, and each sounded a distinctive song within and without. The strands emanated a kind of divine biological resonance in form and in action that lifted matter toward experiencing its diverse harmonic expression.
Each performed as a singular elegant system of communication signaling between earthly and spiritual realms (a distinction that is merely a matter of perception).
These strands held encoded experience—energetic patterns of expression in microcosm—that reverberated throughout the surrounding environment, creating in each moment the world anew.
“They felt like ovarian lines—energetic manifestations of the mother line connected in its infinite reach outside of time.”
Rachael Pullin, Ovarian Lines, 2021. Graphite on paper.
These undulating, translucent forms appeared through my intuitive sight while I was drawing my grandmother. The energy anchored into the paper and extended above me on my left side.
They felt like ovarian lines—energetic manifestations of the mother line connected in its infinite reach outside of time. The field around them became alive with their resonance as they sent almost imperceptible vibrational ripples through the surrounding space.
They held the awareness that women, from birth, carry with them all the eggs they will have in this life. That, in essence, the material from which a child is created is subject to every experience the mother has in her lifetime, and her mother’s before that, and so on. The lineage of all the past mothers alive in the present, infinitely refracted through time and space on into the future.
“The vulnerability of this liminality is an activation, a calling.”
Rachael Pullin, Rebirth, 2022. Graphite on paper.
I saw this during a meditation in 2021. Its layered teachings have unfolded over the course of many months. This is one of its lessons.
On your path of becoming…between states, between the worlds. No longer what you have been and not quite what you will be.
There is always a narrowing.
Aloneness can feel like a loss as that which does not belong is removed from your life.
The vulnerability of this liminality is an activation, a calling.
As if the fabric of space-time wraps gently around you, holding you ever within the light of your own heart.
This is the process of your rebirth.
“Art is how the heart breathes.”
Rachael Pullin, Karmic Breath, 2021. Graphite and watercolor on paper.
This vision began with only a single pink rose. Its petals felt unnaturally compressed and restricted.
The external petals began to breathe. They pulled away to the right and left, separated from the stem, and developed into lungs of the same color. The heart and trachea grew only as the breath continued in and out.
I’ll share with you part of the nearly instantaneous “translation” that I received that I had to unpack later:
Petals bloom from a single stem, drawing their energy from the central channel of a family line, a karmic line. Each carries the resonance, the shape of that line. Adherence to the energy of the line, when it is compressed, maintains the same form as the others. This results in very little room for the breath to expand, and not enough breath for the voice to generate.
The lungs drape around the heart like great petals. Through the lungs and the breath, the blood of the heart is purified and returned to circulate through the body renewing the whole being.
It is the creative breath—the exhale and the inhale—that enables a clearing of the line and the development of one’s own heart and voice. Small at first, it strengthens with each breath in and out.
Art is how the heart breathes. By using our voices, releasing, and renewing through our creative work, we heal ourselves and the line.
