The Story

Manifestation Facilitator as an entity was created in January of 2008 when Ana Rugani & Christopher Allen decided to bring their creative forces together. At its inception it was not clear exactly what Manifestation Facilitator would become other than a project bigger than the individual. As Christopher and Ana began to create, collaborate, and dream together it was clear they wanted to tell a meaningful and ongoing story through art using a multitude of mediums. The “Story” created discusses humanities collective creation, destruction, and re-genesis and was plotted along a five year time line from January 2008 – December 2012. The series is told through the use of installations, sculpture, poetry, music, painting, and multi media. There are five chapters of the Story each lasting for a period of one year with one major showing and a few smaller shows throughout the year. The chapters are as follows – Jellyfish: Mother Nature’s Protector, Estuary Renegades: Where the Tide Meets the Stream, Birth of Humanity, Fall of Humanity, and Re-genesis. When the final chapter is complete in 2012, they will tour the created works around the country and globe. At this time Ana and Christopher are preparing to debut their new body of work for “Fall of Humanity”. Over the past three and a half years Manifestation Facilitator has brought their Story to life in Oregon, New York, and Costa Rica with a total of 13 shows. These shows and the lessons learned have taught them that creating art is their lifes’ purpose. While the first Era and Story will eventually come to a close, Christopher and Ana will continue to create art that reflects the world around them, thus, new eras, concepts, and tales will be born. So, stay tuned because there is no end in site for Manifestation Facilitator.
