Current Gallery: viriditas ( piece)
Viriditas, a word coined by Hildegard von Bingen describes the green force of life, expanding into the Universe. Hildegard saw the notion of 'Viriditas', or Greenness, penetrating every aspect of life. This 'Greenness' was the very expression of Divine power on Earth. GREEN The main colour of nature. The regulator, harmniser and balacer. Dependent on shade, green can be the colour of tranquillity and relaxation. From the fresh energy of limes to the deepest green of ferns, it arouses feelings of brotherhood, unity and openness. It generates a calm space that feels serene, abundant, adaptable. Green can create feelings of new growth. (June McLeod) The hue of that portion of the visible spectrum lying between yellow and blue, evoked in the human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 490 to 570 nanometers; any of a group of colors that may vary in lightness and saturation and whose hue is that of the emerald or somewhat less yellow than that of growing grass; one of the additive or light primaries; one of the psychological primary hues.
