Architecting reality with Sound and Devotion.
Visual Mantras explore the elasticity of time and space, the relationship between frequency and image/pattern and the synesthetic correspondence between sound, form, and colour.
The work attempts to find image to express the awareness of awareness; it is at once a download and an upload.
The animate-drawings are vector maps of perception, boundlessness, and prana/life force.
The series investigates the continual interaction between the dynamics of contraction and expansion and are inspired by a practice of attuning to sound and the natural world(s), an inquiry into the way energy moves in the organism and my communication with the (benevolent) ancestors.
The work is concerned with the metaphorical and ephemeral horizon line that holds together and separates states of consciousness, the hypnagogic line crossed as one falls asleep, or even as one passes from life into death. It reflects an examination of the liminal space between states, my experience of the texture of threshold and the endeavour to report back accurately from the fractal nature of reality.
Visual Mantras investigate the way the I ‘see’ the kinetics of sound as it filters through my perception, and records theses soundshapes in form and colour. There is an intuitive dimensional transposition of rhythm and pattern. The series is informed by a lived realization of how sound connects worlds and describes the information and intelligence found in the traverse.
