Damon Hope was born in Aotearoa New Zealand
on the 8th January, 1974.
Damon’s creative insights
and fervour for innovation and creativity
were greatly inspired by his mother,a
photographer and father,a sculptor
Damon is a multimedia artist active in the
realms of painting, thru to design, thru to filmmaking and
documentaries. He has immersed himself in the
most fundamental language of our time,
colour and geometry, together with cymatics*,
all of which has inspired him to find and create new
perspectives, resulting in unique insights.
*The term cymatics was coined by the Swiss
scientist Hans Jenny, and is derived from the Greek ‘kyma
meaning wave, and ‘ta kymatika’
meaning matters pertaining to waves.
“There are no passengers on planet earth;
we are all crew.” This is a quotation of Buckminster Fuller,
one of Damon’s foremost sources of inspiration.
Terms like ‘Spaceship Earth’, ephemeralization,
and synergetics, were both coined and popularized
by Fuller.
Other sacred geometrists, architects, astronomers
and artists like Nikola Tesla, Benoît Mandelbrot,
Galileo Galilei, and Aldous Huxley have inspired
his learning process.
Damon’s meeting with Geoffrey was a confluent
one, with a meeting of minds congruent in many aspects
of insight and perspective. This entailed a
freedom to interpret Geoffrey’s words and to create a
geometric
language, which enhanced this gathering of
wise insights into the fundamental ideals
that make us human.
