I paint because it allows me to reach into different layers of consciousness. My goal is to engage the viewer in seeing connections between physical states of their feelings. To have a sense that physical objects and feelings are all connected in ways the viewer may not of thought or visualized before. I aim to explain the unseen connections of emotions and physical sensation make these unseen connections visible mapping out these connections visually. I make decisions intuitively when I’m painting, I get to a certain point and know I will have to stop, then later direction will come to me I’ll get an image in my head of what to go next. It’s intuitive painting.
The work I’m doing now is a reflection of my studies in energy healing and my massage work. Through massage I’ve been able to recognize energies and feelings trapped in layers in the body. These feelings can be worked out or stay depending on where someone is in their journey. They tend to be encased in labyrinths of consciousness that hold them in place. Life these can dissolve when the person is ready to let go of the pattern that made the connection into the body. Most of these patterns are thought forms that direct us subconsciously in our lives. I am fabricating visual maps describing this by making layers in my work that connect the fine lines of thought and consciousness.
