Abstract
From childhood I have believed that reality is greater than the world we experience through our five senses – that our universe is bordered by unseen dimensions in which other forms of consciousness exist. When I was in my early twenties, I began a decades-long quest to understand human reality: Who are we, where do we fit in the scheme of things, why do we exist? In my thesis, I approach what I have learned from three directions: quantum physics, religion, and psychology. I show how these interconnected bodies of knowledge have inspired and guided my artwork, and how my quest to understand reality has drawn me to the work of visionary, surrealist, and symbolist artists. Finally, I describe the unconscious processes I use to design artworks.
