I have a sincere belief in the connectedness of everything. I believe that we are all part of the creation of "God/dess" and that this creation speaks to its people through events, through art of all forms and personal experience. If you look back on your life you will see that it has been a path that is quite obvious. If you think also of all the small things that made you make the choices you made to get to where you are now you will clearly see that you have been guided. Guided by what? I personally believe that the guide is God/dess or Spirit and this being has a hand in every event no matter how small. I also believe that this being will represent itself in any way that it can in this dimension and will appear in many forms. The most unusual that has been in the past was the Christian form of Jesus… the most modern form of this 'other' is the U.F.O. and extraterrestrials. Whilst humanity further allows itself to believe in a separation of itself from Spirit, the 'alien other' will appear in whatever form is necessary to 'shake up' our sensibilities and allow for an experience or understanding that has to include this Spiritual part of ourselves. We are at a time in history where we are about to be born as a new form of consciousness. What form this consciousness will take I have no idea of except that it will include all being and all beings everywhere in all dimensions. My art is a reflection of these beliefs… an honest approach at allowing the opening of a dialogue between our selves and what we believe to be the alien other. A healing of this perceived 'broken' connection. I believe in time we will clearly see that this "alien other" is nothing but another aspect of our all powerful and multidimensional selves and that we are fundamentally a creation of love.
