RICHARD BONK
Richard Bonk, a research
study coordinator for the University of Minnesota, an artist, counselor, teacher and workshop facilitator, has a Master’s of Education degree. Bonk's current spiritual-art explorations have generated the MandalArt Healing Image process. As part of this technique an “informational snapshot” is taken of a person or object. Original sources may be as varied as a sound or voice recording, writing sample, biofeedback file, astrological chart,e-mail, computer file, text or photo, which is then transformed into raw data in the computer, then run through a series of art filters. The resultant image is a unique aesthetic representation of the “parent”. This image can be “tweaked”, i.e., altering colors, forms, etc., to generate an energetic reaction or specific state of consciousness in its viewer, by-passing the inner cognitive judge to appeal more directly to intuitive aspects of self. In turn this process can encourage transformative insight and stimulate personal healing.
