In our current society, life presents itself as an endless onslaught of spectacles lacking any unifying narrative. While viewing screens, we receive an unrelenting abundance of data. Without a sense of unity, each image, word or impulse signifies less and less. In order to heal the wounds of alienation and disassociation, we must regain a sense of relatedness within this landscape.
The creation of pictures, for me, is a nearly shamanic device which can connect and create order from this chaos by uniting several different worlds syncretically.
(De-alienation and re-association): The exploration of one’s own experiences within the psychic structure of the culture. Threefold: ancestry, ethnicity and cosmic place.
