Magenta
Magenta grew up on a farm in rural Montana, and spent her childhood
wandering around the hills immersed in the language and patterns of
nature. Thankful to have found her way to the land of freaks and
edge-walking geniuses, she works as an "imagination healer", clothing designer, artist, vocalist, social systems designer, and sillypants
extraordinaire. http://imaginationhealer.weebly.com
She's still puzzled at urban environments and how unhealthy they are, and as an Evolver Bay Area sporeganizer, she is working with people on designing alternatives, upgrades, re-designs, and imaginative loopholes for living together globally in more sustainable and creativity-fostering ways. She has studied artificial intelligence and cognitive science, sacred geometry and "conscious language". She is currently combining that knowledge with explorations in psychic phenomena, shamanic journeywork, shapeshifting, optics, and creating form with sound. She is a synthesizer, muse, vision-weaver and has been playfully dubbed "The Interdimensional Unicorn".
