September 11 Peace Memorials
Designed, developed and disseminated peace memorials to foster an appreciation of peace, and the vital need to find ways to conduct world trade in peace - not in war - and to remember the power of forgiveness and universal love - to realize that it is not possible to win a war on terrorism; to resolve the challenges of terrorism, we must seek and follow paths of healing and peace based on an appreciation of One Light in All.

Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves
The Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves appear to serve as a bridge between the cycles of light and Colour of the Light and Colour Cubes and the colours of the rainbow. The Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves also represent an experiment in morphing the rectilinear structure of the cubes into softer cyclical and curvilinear forms.

The Ark of Hope
The Ark of Hope - and the Temenos Books that it carries - is an artists' vehicle for expressing a commitment to the Earth Charter.
Met the Ark of Hope when it arrived at the 79th Street boat basin in New York, and carried it - with a good load of books inside - to 42nd Street & Fifth Avenue - and on the final section of the journey to the Interfaith Center of New York. Subsequently co-organized an exhibit booth at the Clearwter Hudson River Revival Festival at Croton Point Park in June 2002.

Peace Cubes / Virtual Light and Colour Cubes
Development and dissemination of a proliferating set of images based on developed models of the peace cubes / virtual light and color cubes as embodiments of properties of light and of nature. The existence of the cubes was discovered in response to a request from the outgoing Executive Director of UN-Habitat to explore the use of colour to identify the role of partners in a proposed web site for follow-up to Habitat II.
The Light and Colour Cubes were dedicated as Peace Cubes at an Equinox Earthday celebration next to the Peace Bell at United Nations Headquarters in March 1997 and have emerged as icons of Information Ecology and of a holistic approach - with the dimensions of red, blue and green appearing to correspond to dimensions of economy, society and environment - the three "pillars of sustainability" - as well as to dimensions of body, mind and spirit.
