Website Update

Hey. Just been working on updating the website, still alot to do but check it out.

optical delusion of conciousness...

“A human being is part of the whole called by us, universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”

Albert Einstein, 1954

I've been really busy recently - had a solo exhibition 'Castlegate' at Peacock Visual Arts which finishes on Saturday (just finishing off a small publication for that), finishing off the Project Slogan 'kal-eye-doscope' for a performance/video this spring, and also planning for getting married to my beautiful, amazing girlfriend in July!

New post coming soon with photos and details about 'Castlegate', and news of some upcoming projects.

Check out the website for some past work, this'll also be getting updated soon!

Tulpa

"Inasmuch as the mind creates the world of appearances, it can create any particular object desired. The process consists of giving palpable being to a visualization, in very much the same manner as an architect gives concrete expression in three dimensions to his abstract concepts after first having given them expression in the two-dimensions of his blue-print. The Tibetans call the One Mind's concretized visualization the Khorva (Hkhorva), equivalent to the Sanskrit Sangsara; that of an incarnate deity, like the Dalai or Tashi Lama, they call a Tul-ku (Sprul-sku), and that of a magician a Tul-pa (Sprul-pa), meaning a magically produced illusion or creation. A master of yoga can dissolve a Tul-pa as readily as he can create it; and his own illusory human body, or Tul-ku, he can likewise dissolve, and thus outwit Death."

Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz, 1954

A.G.T.L end-of-residency party

After a few moments of intense thought, where he seemed to be on some magnificent inner voyage, he told me: "Aye, you should build a giant throat lozenger".

Bones'n'Money provided some exquisite beats for the night. Thanks fellows!
