Tree of Life

By Rowena Pattee Kryder

VIDEO with TWO FILMS: TREE OF LIFE (42 min) and ART OF TREE OF LIFE - interview with Rowena (18 min)

created in 1980 - before computer graphics Totally drawn by hand!

Part One

ROOTS IN HEAVEN: the emanation of spirit into form

BRANCHES OF CREATION: evolution of nature into more conscious forms

Deep in the eternity of the cosmos, from the womb of the universal mother of creation, a universe is born. This genesis is symbolized on film through movement in art, dance and music.

Part Two

FRUITS OF HUMANITY: the awareness of the unity of all life amidst extreme differences, cultural changes and conflict

SEEDS OF HARMONY: a vision of the order of the universe

The compassionate will to help others through the transformation of suffering into love. In this part we see a large cultural perspective through animated episodes of four thousand years of temple architecture into the grid array of modern cities. A vision of higher dimensions of life is shown. A suggestion of the wisdom needed for the present world crises.

"Rowena Pattee Kryder is gifted with extraordinary perception of the archetypal forms at the creative basis of all life."

- Joel Andrews, harpist and author of A Harp Full of Stars

More than a courageous experiment in film animation. It is multi-dimensional celebration of who we are, where we have come from and where we are going. Most beautifully, the Tree of Life is a revelation unto itself."

-Dr. Jose Arguelles, author of Mandala, The Mayan Factor and Dreamspell

"Rowena Pattee Kryder's artistry in animation and colorized graceful movement sequences offers the viewer an experience in the uplifting potential of visual stimuli." Stephen Halpern, author and composer
