In this episode, Lili sits down with artists Alexandra Eldridge and Rick Stevens at their home in Santa Fe to explore the "astonishing" connection between creative flow and spiritual practice. Starting with the pull of the Sun card from Alexandra’s Radiant Tarot, the trio discusses how art serves as a vehicle for entering the "quantum field"—a space where the analytical mind drops away and the imagination takes over. Despite their distinct styles, with Alexandra’s work rooted in symbolic narratives and Rick’s in ethereal nature-based abstractions, they reveal how their individual paths have converged through shared meditations, travel, and a joint interest in demystifying the mystical.
The conversation offers a rare, intimate look at how two established creators maintain their own agency while living a deeply entwined life. They discuss the rhythms of their day, from shared morning Qigong to the solitary hours spent in separate studios, and how they navigate the delicate balance of ego and support during gallery openings. By exploring concepts like komorebi (light filtering through leaves) and the "transmissions" received from art history, Alexandra and Rick illustrate a life dedicated to the unseen. Ultimately, they describe their partnership as a harmonious exchange of energy, where the goal is to move beyond the small self and translate the vibration of the universal into form.
