I've been wanting to share this part of my process with you for a while. I was fortunate to have Erica Sundrop over for a bit after the Total Solar Eclipse last year. The stars aligned and this fox was presented to us shortly after she arrived. I love Ericas work and am honored to have collaborated with her on a project very close to my heart. Antima Sanskara in ancient Sanskrit translates to Last Sacred Rite. I'll be releasing the full length video at the launch of my new website in conjunction with my Patreaon profile very soon! Thank you Erica Sundrop for your vision and care in co honoring this being. Love and gratitude to Juli Elin for working your magic to create this beautiful crown. I gave her several talismans from my Alter and she assembled them into the beautiful crown I'm wearing. Thank you Megan Gazzo for my funzie shinning light and a spark of color and joy in a moment of deep reflection. Thank you Shout out to Pacha Mamma for making this all possible lol, My deepest love and respect to the vixen I am working with in this video.

***The vixen featured in this film was hit on the road and abandoned. Please drive safe, and always watch for animals crossing. Especially at dusk and dawn.

The Existential Action Team’s Founders and Artists Damon Soule and Sparkles Positron designed and led a team of talented artists and crafts workers to create a village centered on a week long live collaboration with Artists Mars 1, Damon Soule, Oliver Vernon, Nome Edonna and David Choong Lee. Its been over a decade since these artists first began collaborating, over the years these five artists have had the opportunity to create and collaborate in front of a generation hungry for inspiration.

Going beyond the boundaries of the studio into the open air under the sun the stars the rain and now their second eclipse. The environment created for the Oregon Eclipse was inspired by love! By remembering a time of innocents when we dared to dream and those dreams carried us to the tree tops, to a mystical village of interwoven forts and swings, a tea house with potions & elixirs, the hearth, music, a jam room, creation unfolding before you, laughter and tears, play and creating all under a total Solar Eclipse what better medicine! We believe in creating environments that balance both the Feminine and Masculine energies while honoring the elements. We strive to create spaces that are personal, that acknowledge all senses and that can transport you into an altered state of consciousness while feeling safe and supported. We want to inspire and bewitch!

Online gallery tour of  the group show featuring 21 artists and their reactions to the current state of San Francisco.

Mirus Gallery is set to feature its newest show Meet Me At The Dogstar by Bay Area artists Sparkles Positron and Damon Soule. The gallery’s opening reception will take place from 7 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 23 and the show will be on view through Saturday, August 20, 2016. From the Artists: "In Meet Me At The Dogstar Damon Soule and Sparkles Positron's (Julianne Yates) third collaborative show the couple attempt to literally leap light years away. Their previous two shows End Of This World Tour in 2012 and Tag It And Bag It in 2013, were centered around road trips and their opportunity for exploration, inspiration, and existential action. This time around the two conduct a metaphysical experiment in interstellar travel, soul contracts, and ripples through time using infinity as the medium. Why the Dogstar? Why not? The two will present a body of work consisting of several collaborative, and solo works as well as an interactive installation. Sparkles' work, with its emphasis on texture, bright colors, and natural materials which she harvests and processes herself, perfectly contrasts Soule's maximalist, undulating, optical eye fry, and light controlled crystal synthesizers. Together they weave a magical space which immerses the viewer in the artists sensory spaceship. Meet Me At The Dogstar is an art show about gratitude, levity, and most importantly love."

Mirus Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Damon Soules solo exhibition entitled "Quintessence". Damons obsessive works investigate the parallels between meta physics, biology, cosmology, geometry and buddhism through the use of bright color and elegant, chaotic abstraction.
