So...This unique aesthetic has been created through me, as the result of a rigorous 20 year art practice. Like any real art, there are of course endless interpretations, and as many experiences of it as there are people. It's going to affect everyone differently.
In my experience, these are a kind of hyper-dimensional information landscape, grounded in non euclidean geometry, in which the vanishing point is everywhere.
They're also artistic models of cognitive and logical processes, which help one to see the beauty in such things, and hopefully thus use them for more beautiful ends. One also thus sees the limits therein.
I've also found them useful for inspiring an awareness of one's own cognitive processes, and for inducing a mild psychedelic effect in some people, as well as for being somewhat of an aid in joy and mindfulness practices. In practice this means that when one is working on some problem, or encountering stress of a mental nature, one may turn one's gaze to this work, and find relief.
Part of the relief effect, is that embedded in the work are stylized and defamiliarized contour drawings of both faces and the human form. The sections of the frontal cortex will recognize patterns, but will be unable to assess and resolve them in the usual fashion (in a sense a cognitive infinite loop is invoked) thus helping to still rational cognitive processes, and allowing for creativity and 'air' to flow in.
They also illustrate the Buddhist concept of 'dependent co arising', wherein by looking deeply into any given phenomenae, one quickly sees that it and they are irrevocably bound up in all other Phenomena since the origin of Creation.
Of course, these pieces are not for everyone. But for some these will be exactly what they didn't know they needed until they saw it.
My sense is that these will work great for certain tech or knowledge work firms, including investment houses.
My further sense is that, while they both enhance the visual environment in a positive fashion, bestow a certain underground yet high level cachet, as well as enhancing the cognitive processes of those in their proximity, they also lend themselves to a background awakening or enhancement of awakening of unitive consciousness. This can of course be unsettling for some, and so they are best suited for environments where individuals are at least open to such things.
Lastly, they can help one see the constructed nature of identity and identity attachments, helping one to see through the ego, to one's true nature of True Self. This has been referred to as 'Awakening' in Buddhist terms, and 'Illumination' in the Christian mystical tradition. Eckhart Tolle simply refers to is as 'Presence'.
I'm currently seeking interpretations and insight. These handmade pieces are small (approx 8"x11" with some variances), and can be either grouped in various arrangements, or presented in shadow boxes. See example. Moving forward, we will likely offer a range of sizes, including large scale lobby and public sized works.
Your comments, critiques, and suggestions are both welcome and invited.
Best Regards,
Pax North
