Jim Stanford Finds Infinite Symmetry Through Las Vegas Signage

LAS VEGAS WEEKLY

By Kristen Peterson

Jim Stanford’s “Del Mar” at Trifecta Gallery

NEVADA---Hindu/Buddhist metaphor that represents the infinite interconnectedness of the universe, asserting that there is no such reality in which separateness exists. That is the idea behind "Indra’s Jewels," in which a deity cast out a net, then placed a jewel in each eye of the net so the jewels and reflection would extend infinitely, interdependent on one another. It’s a belief that artist and Buddhist Jim Stanford has held for decades, and in his quest to render the metaphor and take on infinite symmetry in art, he’s used old Vegas signage as source material for his Trifecta Gallery exhibit, also called "Indra’s Jewels." [link]
