“The Green Hand is a new piece that I have been working on for a number of years. This vision came when I was imagining humanity and all the different beings that work together to regenerate the ecosphere. Hildegard von Bingen, the great 12th century Abbess, called it Viriditas, which is the greening power of God that regenerates in every season. It is this idea that we are part of the hands that are uplifting nature.”
— Alex Grey
Green Hand is a visionary celebration of renewal, stewardship, and the sacred interconnectedness of life. Inspired by the concept of Viriditas—the life-giving, regenerative force described by the medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen—the artwork reflects the living intelligence that continually renews the natural world. Through vibrant imagery and symbolic forms, Alex Grey portrays humanity as an active participant in the ongoing flourishing of the ecosphere.
At its heart, Green Hand is a reminder that every being plays a role in the larger web of life. The hand becomes a symbol of care, creativity, and cooperation—a living expression of the forces that nurture growth, healing, and transformation. By recognizing our place within this greater ecological community, we are invited to participate more consciously in the regeneration of the world around us.
Whether displayed as textile art or enjoyed as a cozy woven throw, Green Hand brings a message of hope, vitality, and reverence for nature into your home, meditation space, or sacred environment.
