Art as a Vibrational Record
I am currently working on a body of work, prompted by an energetic disturbance that led to near total dissolution of self. From the deep void that followed, came intense creativity and reintegration, driving a body of art that spontaneously created itself; the paint and the canvas erupting into forms that told my absolute truth. This led me to wonder, if the art was the pure vibrational record, as reference in the Eye of the I by Dr David Hawkins, or whether the narrative could be manipulated, by changing the picture orientation or adding projected layers and music. Also whether the observer would understand the abstract creations by the resonance of the work alone.
This video is the culmination of a week of working abstractly, creating a study of enquiry into the effect of consciousness on art. I am curious to gain feedback on whether art that is created in bursts of non-conscious led spontaneity is stronger when left for the observer to translate it, or adding words to the backstory.
The Original Picture
Acrylic paint on a rough, used canvas which had been white washed. Paint was added with a pallet knife initially and the form emerged which was then developed according to the original marks.
The Significance of the Cherry - Part 2
The 2 pictures above are clips from a film made in Berlin in 2025, where I explore the relationship with my sister Dia, a twin who died in the womb. The idea to add this detail to a small clip, was random, another spontaneous idea, one of many to add drama. It made it to the finished film because it looked good. But this cherry detail has repeated multiple times in recent work. It is shown in the painting above (first new instance recognised and also in a film I made of the event itself (channeled as a shamanic vision).
This image was created quickly following a shamanic journey. Drawing the vision I saw a snowy scene with a railway (bottom), snowy grass with barbed wire (middle) and wall of graffiti at the top. When reviewed a few weeks later, the random graffiti was not random at all. And the wavy lines depicting grass and snow noticeably mirrored the intensity of events in the top timeline, almost like a parasympathetic nervous system's response. The most interesting part is the cherry on a stick, which is in the top right of the image.
