Lifting the Veils - Blue Lotus

“Lifting the Veils - Blue Lotus” is a stand-alone short and integral part of a larger film project with the title "Lifting the Veils - A Healing Journey" in which Canadian-American fractal animation artist Brenda Molloy and Austrian multi-instrumentalist Wolfgang Blümel are taking viewers behind the veils of ordinary reality to reveal the healing potential that lies behind the five colors of Tibetan Buddhism.

Their artistic collaboration is based on a mutual desire to create images and sounds that exhibit vibrational integrity and resonance, thereby evoking a sense of enhanced coherence and harmony within body/mind/spirit in the audience.

Blue Lotus focuses on the transformational properties of the color blue, reminding you to go with the flow.

Director Biography - Brenda Molloy

Brenda Molloy is a fractal artist who digitally creates print images and animations based on mathematical formulas. It’s making the invisible visible. She was born and raised in Canada and now lives and works in Connecticut.

What drew her to this art form was that she felt the vibration and frequency of the underlying structure of mathematics, and she felt the close relationship to the fractal patterns found in nature. She noted that the fractal patterns were both soothing and calming.

Brenda is sensitive to energy in different areas of the world. She is a trained reiki practitioner, and also enjoys yoga, tai chi and qigong. Subtle energy fascinates her, as it makes itself felt on many levels, including her artwork.

She enjoys collaborating with musicians for multidimensional audio/visual projects, and feels the art and the music weave together for a beautiful transcendent experience.

Her work has been collected both locally and internationally, and has garnered numerous awards, one of them being a First Place Award from the Museum of Computer Art, Brooklyn, NY in 2011. She also feels honored to have four huge pieces (14 feet x 6 feet} hanging in the Niagara Falls Convention Center. Another highlight for her was the cover article in IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications July/August 2011 (vol. 31 no. 4)

Brenda says she was born an artist, and temporarily missed her calling. It wasn’t until after earning a Bachelor of Environmental Studies degree at the University of Waterloo that she returned to school to study Fine Arts at Indiana University.

She hopes her work touches you on a very deep visceral level. It’s what has kept her feeling as much inner peace as possible, living in this quickly changing world.

Director Statement

We are living in highly chaotic times, and I wanted to create a film that would make people stop in their tracks and for a short period of time, be so fully engrossed, that they don’t even realize that they have a problem in the world.

I want to take them on a journey that every cell in their body will feel. I want the frequency and resonance of the fractal geometry to reach inside and give them a transformational experience. I want them coming back for more, time and time again, as with each viewing, something else is revealed.

Such is my art.

One of the joys of creating is working with others, and the music of Wolfgang Blümel is an integral part of the film. The art and the music weave together for a beautiful transcendent experience.

We join together in wishing you a visceral journey that reaches deep into your essence.
