What?? The TRUTH is in HERE?

Well hopefully some of my truth is in here, but as some of you doubtless recognise, this is a play on the X-Files mantra, "The Tuth is out There". "The Truth is in Here" refers to our own minds.

 My logo shows a cosmic spiral centred on the head of a human figure. This, for me, symbolizes the inner journey that many of us need to make to understand ourselves, ie "The Truth" is inside our minds.

 

 

 

 Remember this from the Hitchhikers Guide:

 

Zaphod: Hey look, Earthman, you've got a job to do remember? The question 
to the Ultimate Answer, right?
…//…
Arthur: Yes, I know that! I'm just saying the question could be anything. How 
should I know?
Ford:   Because you and Trillian are the last-generation products of the 
computer matrix - you must know.
Marvin: I know.
Ford:   Shut up, Marvin. This is organism talk.
Marvin: It's printed in the Earthman's brainwave patterns, but I don't suppose 
you'll be very interested in knowing that.
Arthur: You mean you can see into my mind?
Marvin: Yes.
Arthur: And?
Marvin: It amazes me how you manage to live in anything that small.

Part of my artistic and life journey is to pursue the idea that a great amount of truth, understanding, and wisdom is found by exploring our own minds and psyches. The most  usefull Truth is found primarily within yourself, not so much in the promise of glitter and glamour in what we like to persuade oursevles is our civilization.

Some of my Light Photography, which I have been developing for the past 25 years, trys to portray the connection between light, thought, energy and perception. Can an image show enlightenment? What IS an idea? Could the image below represent a moment of inspiration in a mind?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many of the images you will find in the galleries are untitled. I have difficulty with labels for certain of my artworks. I have tried to create many of them with as little editing by the conscious mind as possible. I wish them to be viewed without too much intrusion by the "intelligence" of the viewer. Labels for me, immediately invoke the rational parts of the mind, which consequently limit considerably the range of possible perceptions of that image.

 

Don't trust me or an art "expert" to tell you what it is or is not. Perceive for yourself and decide for yourself. Your truth is within you.
