> STATEMENT

 

The very heart of this work is not a new notion but one that seems absolutely necessary to tilt our hats back and observe as often as we can.

With the steady growth of our gorgeous society, building up structures only to bring them crashing down around our heads, humanity has become a strange thing. Insisting that if we only try hard enough we can cure our disease with the very muscle it originates in. Even with thousands of examples of what this effort avails us with all the intended remorse and quite suffering we blindly take up these same principles and try one more time. Violently attempting to force our will into a space made for another shape.

Now this life in my experience is not completely bleak by any means and that is what I would hope to convey with my work if anything at all.

So to create a trance that conspires with the viewers heart to confront our unavoidable evolution, our minds desperation and the acceptance of our teeth gnashing hope to bring some finite relief to an infinitely deluded self-will, that is the power I feel this Trance can bring us. Diving in and together to acknowledge our truth deep down within and journey further into our continual expansion of awareness and discovery of all that is in the present.

So may we continue to hold each other accountable as we embrace the great gift we have been given to sense shift and bring forth the unseen.
