This picture is reminiscent of paintings that I have done in the past with oils and acrylics. It bears an imprint of the unconscious; a primordial flow of energy made visible. When I look at this image, it presents me with action, violence, war perhaps, and an image, a raised image of horse and rider, weapons, movement, strength, flow, fluidity, and maybe some blood. I made this digital image this winter and thought it would be a great addition to this website. It’s the process of getting rid of this energy that is the important thing. You have to rid yourself of the weight of past deeds and actions, whether they be of this lifetime of past lifetimes. That is what leads to survival, at least a psychic and spiritual survival of the soul in very real terms. If you can get past the built up karma’s of things past, you can start, if your unweighting process is profound and honest and intense enough, to get a glimpse of things that are coming your way, or things speeding at you via light and energy from in front of you, or from your future, if you will.

This next image seen here below was made a couple years ago while I was sitting at my desk at work. It is a very subtle nuance if compared to the image above, but no less valid. It is reminiscent of eyeglasses, and or a bicycle, (pretty obvious) with a torso lying beneath. What it conjures up in my mind is an accident, perhaps a death in the sunshine. the simplicity of this image together with the process by which it was created, a totally spontaneous process during which I am quote oblivious to what I am doing until the image gets to a point where feel and intuition tell me the process is over and the image is finished. I am generally not very aware of what the image is or represents until days, months or even years after its creation. I am still seeing different things in works that I created over 35 years ago.  ( More underneath this image)

The point is that the process of ridding yourself of the excess psychic and spiritual baggage that you may be and have been carrying with you for centuries or millennia bears your soul and spirit of blockages to both your vision (actual physical vision) and your sense of self. It sets up an enabling process by which you can help yourself survive and move on. Just as an afterthought, you do not have to create these works to put the process in motion. Just by looking at real art images, art that stems from this primordial place, you can set in motion inside yourself, a process that accomplish the very things I have been talking about. It is what you see, what you bring to the work, and what you take away from the work that is important. The work (the image, sound, or whatever stimulates you) is the catalyst. The true artist does the work for you. All you have to do is be receptive to it.
