The actual moments of where interacting with my daughter turned in my moments of creation came at a time when all was quiet and I would rework them at night. Constant in my mind were questions like those of Gauguin and “Where do we come from?” “What are we?” “Where are we going?” These were persistent thoughts. I found myself, sometimes purposively using the UFO for its psychic charge symbolism, thinking about the collective desire for transformation, the need to compensate dissociations with wholeness. There’s a feeling of alienation in the air now, the inability to distinguish truth from fiction in a cyber culture strung out on info- overload where context is constantly manipulated. The wrestling of consensus reality, the valuable contextualization vs open minded skepticism. And above all the lack for us to understand that every entity is interwoven with the rest of the universe.
In essence It’s an invitation to wonder, to grasp what we can from infinitude, for the joy of discovery to remain fresh amid the hints and suggestions of the brush strokes and shapes.”
