Randall Fontes’

Randall Fontes’ current work, Art and Science in the Service of Spirit: A Journey into the Play of Light, rises from his botanical research in the ‘60s and the publication of The Secret Life of Plants. Randall’s research focused on the reaction of plants to human emotions, and expanded to research at the Stanford Research Institute on plant and human consciousness. The effects of light and sound on human consciousness became his focus in the ‘80s and ‘90s at the Exploratorium Science and Art Museum. As the new millennium began, Randall’s work evolved to the integration of science, art, and spirit with his Play of Light Meditative Experience. As he describes it, ‘The Play of Light is about the beauty of light, of sound, and of form. As each of these is deeply resonant with the other, the underlying unity that they share is revealed within their dance, and can be realized through direct experience. Within this experience, the mind becomes still and spontaneous meditation arises.’
