I read about many esoteric, mystical and religious subjects, varying from the Kabbalah, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, The Golden Dawn, The O.T.O., Tarot, Alchemy and Thelema Magick. These texts contain many symbols that are deeply connected with rituals to help one connect with the Higher Supreme Being. Within this investigation I interpret this literature and symbols into physical entities, conjuring out deities, angels or demons from a personal realm. In order to survive the process of creation and mutilation, sewing and drawing have become meditative rituals while painting has become a personal performance. 'Alchemical' processes through material are at play, and are represented with specific effects that creep over into the multidimensional edge. These beings embody seductive high-spirited colours that magnetise attention, but veil the amputation and beheading that transform a grotesque act into a divine one.
