Symbiosis 2003 Artist Statement

This collection is a tribute to all things magical and mysterious in our lives. Altered states of consciousness are explored and represented in their visual form using kaleidoscopic ideas and mushrooms to hint at the human nature relationship. In this visual drift of ideas I have allowed true visions to be illuminated and merge into this fluid and ever changing space and time. Watching things grow, dancing to the beats and communication with the elements have all played a necessary part this series.

In this silence, 1000 symphony orchestras play and visions ignite in between internal / external breaths. An ambient journey between two storms has begun, parting the fog on the horizon and allowing true vision to penetrate the atmosphere. Elevated emotions and a heightened sense of awareness flicker through the morphing, evolving clouds of change as the sensation of the mystical absorbs us once again.This truly is one of the most amazing things we can experience as humans and to realise the interconnectedness of everyone and everything provides a timeless, fleeting moment of understanding.

Head in the clouds and feet on the ground, I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Like creatures from the deep I present glimpses of a world which attempt to spark the imagination in people and take them to a place they have been before, but don’t quite remember until they are there. A timeless place of origins, where it all began and continues to grow in abstract languages, unlimited spectrums and possibilities allow your imagination run free and remember its as real as you want it to be.

This series has been Influenced by artists Alex Grey and  James Gleeson and also the underground sub-cultures of the world which dance to the natural rhythms of our planet and beyond.
