Heaven and hell are within us, and all the gods are within us. This is the great realization of the Upanishads of India in the ninth century B.C. All the gods, all the heavens, all the worlds, are within us. Joseph Campbell
Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.Buddha
My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all. John Lennon
Art is standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world, and letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy.Albert Einstein
Our Inner Universe
We are deep caverns of experience. The following artworks explore, express, open up and begin to look inside these caves of humanity.
Each of us has an inner universe of dimension. Our subconscious minds are always in contact with this reality or inner world, this unimaginable vast inner dimension. If the Earth became a black hole, it would have a diameter of about 0.017 meters, about the size of a marble. A mountain can fit inside an atom. Meaning we have a vast amount of space exists within us, an enormous dimensional space.
The four figures in the artwork 'Our Inner Universe' are all experiencing a different inner life. I am expressing their different physical realities, the mind-body complex that influences these inner worlds within the same space. All the figures have a different belief system, a contrasting inner universe. Some closer to harmony with the universe, happiness or flow than others, some are completely open or empty.
Our senses are only fragments of reality. We observe the world as a layer of surfaces. Our subconscious mind is always in contact with all the subtleties and depth of existence, a part of our brain is in constant contact with the vastness of experience.
I think some people do become fully conscious and can fully link the conscious and subconscious mind, gaining the wisdom from such experiences. In such conscious experiences the form of the body no longer exists, a reconnection with infinite space. The hologram the brain produces of reality becomes expanded without limit.
