ANYWHERE BEYOND - IT'S WHERE THIS ARTIST LOVES GOING
I am very aware that over the years my art has undergone many changes, transitions and even name changes. Talk about confusing people! But my thoughts, my attitudes, my beliefs and my spiritual connectivity, shall we say, to my art have shifted over time.
But one thing that remains essentially a constant is the general philosophy and ethos behind my art. The idea that alternative dimensions, spaces, even Universes might exist beyond our current level of understanding. And that is pretty much the driving force behind my creations. However, there is one aspect that has pretty much eluded me over the years. And that is my deeper understanding of what makes my art tick. What is it really all about? What does it all mean? I would say that my art can be hard to define as I don't fit into any box. But why should I? I don't conform to any "rules" in how I go about creating my art and I am not a traditional artist by any means. I don't, for example, do social commentary etc and I am not motivated by current trends in the art world. Some people won't "understand" my art. But that's fine. I am not worried by that. So, I am just an artist really. I create what comes naturally to me. So with all of that in mind, here's why I have settled on the word "visionary" - meaning a bold idea, dream, vision, above, beyond, transcend.
My visionary and immersive worlds could be described as spaces, realms or dimensions that may exist outside of linear time or beyond our reality, the physical plane of our current existence. This is all speculation of course but an idea that I have long held a fascination for. Therefore in all of this speculation and mystery, it is most probable that, given their existence, the laws of physics and nature operate on a completely different level. One can only imagine what these worlds could look like. This is where I come in. In my work, I don't lay claim that what I create really exists, but my imagination and my vision are guided by these ideas and beliefs, guided by the metaphysical universe.
And so the journey continues. There is much to left to explore. I will keep looking beyond. And once I have "discovered a new world", you'll see it here, transmitted for contemplation, curiosity and meditations.
