I pulled out my long-neglected collection of collage materials for a small art-making gathering this week. The assignment: Make a collage based on the I Ching’s ancient bagua, which maps out nine essential areas of life. Baguas are charts used in the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui.
Clockwise from top:
Fame (red, fire)
Love and Marriage (red-pink-white, earth)
Creativity and Children (white-silver-gray-copper, soft metal)
Helpful Friends and Travel (white-gray-black, hard metal)
Career (black-dark blue, water)
Knowledge and Self-Cultivation (black-blue-green, earth)
Family (green, hard wood)
Wealth (blue-purple-red-green-gold, soft wood)
(center) Health and Well-Being (yellow-orange-brown, earth)
