For a full representation of Frost's NEPSIS FOUNDATION ARTS, Hosted by University of California, BERKELEY, go to:
http://ecai.org/NEPSIS
On that UCB site, see especially LETTER TO A BISHOP for a chronology of PAINTINGS in relationship to POEMS and METAPHYSICAL PRACTICE. That title can be found in the NEPSIS FOUNDATION site map appendix or as Cycle One of the "Nepsis Foundation and the Oracle of Xibalba," the major work there.
Critique of sculpture/drawing #[51] and Art Essay:
ART, MY ART AND RELIGIOUS AESTHETICS
THIS SITE FEATURES Works by FR. STEVE FROST: "These art works 'illustrate' --ILLUMINATE-- a process, a pilgrimage, a liturgy! A THEOLOGY- A story about the spirituality of the inner life."
(SITE UNDER DEVELOPMENT...)
The first 3 albums to the right contain 'everything' for a BOOK OF CHANGES. These images indicate something of the interior experience of a SPIRITUAL LIFE otherwise inarticulate. A 4th album to the right contains pivotal works in the larger progress of this presentation-RECURRING THEMES. Album 5 contains paintings from 30 years of formal religious training. The sixth album is for current works. The artist's focus since the late 1990's has been the composition archived at University of California, Berkeley- Find link below.
In addition to earlier inventories, this site contains about 100 newly archived images- (2011).
Numbers in brackets, [#], are from the UCB 2010 count. Plain numbers, w/o brackets, are from the fall, 2011 inventory count above. Negative numbers refer to student works, i.e., before summer 1973.

BEFORE BOLIVIA 1961-1973
|
Upon graduation from college in 1973, my room mate and I boarded a bus in Tijuana, Mexico and traveled by land to Cochabamba, Bolivia. Works before this journey have negative numbers. After, positive numbers.

RECURRING THEMES And METHODS

Celibacy and Sex Magic, for instance. (Note shifts from personal, narrative, lyric or abstract treatments to allegory when dealing with issues of communal identity in a gestalt of individual/universal values or capabilities.)
