THE HIDDEN GEOMETRY OF LIFE
The science and spirituality of nature

'Breathtaking in its scope and fascinating in its detail, The Hidden Geometry of Life is nothing less than a comprehensive and coherent account, in words and images, of the nature and meaning of reality – a vision in which science and spirit unite.'
The harmony in our world and the cosmos is awe-inspiring, and is brilliantly portrayed here in images and words which reveal the connection between art, geometry, science, consciousness and spirituality.... An illuminating book indeed!

Karen L French provides the key into the doorways of understanding so as to empower artists in their calling and begin their journey into truly ‘seeing.
Amanda McGreggor, ArtLyst – London Art Magazine (26 Feb 2012)
Love it! It is probably the simplest introduction to complex subjects that I have read. Crystal clear like a drink of spring water and this clarity makes it resonate even more.
Professor John Hyatt (Manchester School of Art)
'Karen L French has given us a tour de force of accessible science that will appeal to budding scientists as well as to anyone with an enquiring mind. A sumptuously illustrated and hugely inspirational book.' 
Physicist John Stuart Reid (Feb 2012)
This lavishly illustrated in and erudite book takes the reader on a journey through the formative forces of the physical world....The narrative draws on many cultures, and contains many inspiring and instructive quotations from scientists, artists and philosophers. Key details are explained in special boxes, enabling the reader to deepen their understanding of specific points. The last chapter ends with a metaphysical poem, I AM, HERE, NOW, celebrating the joy of learning through life experience. A richly textured and revealing book.

​Delve into the creative process, into the heart of existence and its composition of geometry, energy of light, vibrant colours, and the Classical Elements of water, fire, earth and air. Wonder at how nature exploits all these things in her myriad of creations. Discover how sound carries the geometric code in its waves of vibration that activate, energise and change as it moves through all of Her creations.
            When light, sound and the Classical Elements are incorporated into the Gateway to the Heavens the vibrant Gateway to Becoming model is established, summarising the alchemical creative process. When imbued with intent the latent power of this model is formidable.
            Our ability to be creative is a truly incredible faculty. So is our resourcefulness as we employ the myriad of Nature’s materials around us in our own resourceful endeavours. Our creativity as a science blended with spirituality invokes the alchemical fusion of materials, light, sound, mathematics, symbolism and the power of intent to produce living works of art.
LOOK INSIDE
Karen L. French has produced a book that is concise and acts as a wonderful research tool for all art students and professional artists. The visuals are exciting and thought provoking and give the topics discussed a tangible dimension. The text is easy to read and yet manages to cover the intellectual context of the theories. The theories put forward are varied and the reader is taken on a journey of learning where one topic feeds into the other. This approach allows the reader the time to compute the information and to research in a creative manner. I would recommend this book to any artist, tutor or student working in any artistic discipline. It is well researched and a great point of reference for the study of geometry, science, spirituality and their place in our natural environment.
