Chaos and Order
Acrylic on Canvas
36" X36"
My art is a metaphysical journey of discovery. Ever since childhood I have been fascinated with the liminal ---- the neither here nor there, the betwixt or the in-between. I found it to be a realm of pure possibility. The ancient Celts called this state Caol ‘ait or “thin places”, were the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds merge. I have found that through my creative process I can pass through a type of threshold that allows me to enter this realm of consciousness, where one can explore the interflow between soul and matter and between time and eternity.
This allure with “thin places” has also led me to explore transpersonal psychology and my own personal shadow through dream work and Jungian analysis. My art is a recorded event of my deep interest in mysticism and the natural world, as well as a passageway into my own mythical inversion of reality. It is my deep exploration into non-ordinary reality and the mysteries of the unknown.
A key element in my process is the study and travel to ancient cultures and sacred sites whose shamanistic worldview encompassed a belief in a magical Other World. My paintings or portals are visual archives that penetrate my unconscious. My surfaces are painted over layers of symbols and forms, recalling cave walls and ritual chambers. While creating I employ my two mental allies, instinct and intuition, to create a canvas of chaos and order
Collector: Richard(Rico) Bacon, actually was visiting John F Kennedy University for graduate school Fate would have it that my Solo Exhibition Caol A'it filled the A&C Gallery the whole installation connected with Rico's journey at that moment in time. He had an affinity with my work Chaos and Order and acquired it that very day that he had walked into the gallery.
