ALLYSON AND ALEX GREY
Alex: We are two artists collaborating in love. Our
collaboration is the Third Force, a creative angel that
manifests something greater than either of us could
accomplish on our own.
To have
a beloved
you have to
imagine the
beloved.
You can’t think of Laurel without Hardy, Gilbert
without Sullivan.
William Blake’s wife, Katherine, was his beloved. They
were twin flames.
The monumental sculptor, Christo, collaborated
throughout his career with his wife, Jean-Claude, who
said, “I don’t draw. We work together on everything
else.”
Memorable collaborations are actually rare. Ours
is more than gender balance. Our consciousness
expands and cooperation is valued over competition.
Every work of art reflects the artist’s values and
character. All artists that are most remembered,
Michaelangelo, DiVinci, Van Gogh — leave profound
traces that keep their souls alive in us.
The imagination is the bridge that unites you with
transcendental Divinity, a connection with the
beloved beyond the body. To have a beloved you
have to imagine the beloved. You become enchanted
by your imagining of this person.
