Tiffany Singh & Yvette Sitten – Journey Through the Rainbow Alchemy Lab
August 28th to September 9th, 2017
From August 28th to September 9th , Tiffany Singh & Yvette Sitten embarked on a visionary and visceral journey through the colour spectrum of the rainbow and the chakra energy centres representing the 7 levels between heaven and earth.
Each day they worked with a specific vibrational frequency represented by ;colour. foods, aromas, herbal teas, sound and art practices all within the living practice alchemy lab.
Within this framework of colour therapy, the alchemy lab became a co-creation of all gathered and harvested elements working to transform the sensorial perceptions of the person engaging and partcipating in the gallery space.
Chakras
Through complete immersion of the senses into a ritual space evocative of temple sanctums of old, colour becomes a transformative experience, both inside and outside. By adorning, wearing, ingesting and resonating with a colour ray and chakra energy every 2 days (7 colours/ chakras in total) we ascend through the spirals of colour consciousness linking earth, which begins the process and heaven, which finishes the connective process.
