Brooke Shaden, Petals From My Roots, 2015 |
There is a realm that is known to artists. It is a realm where night is luminous. Where forgetting is powerful. A place where all must lose their way —
Destiny + Amnesia = DESTINESIA .
Destiny + Amnesia = DESTINESIA .
We lose ourselves to find ourselves.
We peer through a lens; commit brush to canvas; juxtapose images--here the work is fierce and exuberant. We extend the boundaries of self. We stare down oblivion.
Linnea Strid, Where Dreams Go to Sleep, 2016 |
Destinesia is a hypnagogic state, bordering on sleep, rich in theta
waves, where dreams and reality mix. Here, we make contact with the
creative spirit and converse with the elusive muse. Here, we find the
courage to create.
Destinesia is the realm of daydreams. Here, we let go. Shatter the routine. Question. Spark. Illuminate. Answer. Here, we have epiphanies. Lose our self-consciousness. Risk it all. Here, everything breaks apart and snaps together. Here, we delve in the dark. Here, we light-up like neon. Here, we are in love with anarchy. Here, we are free.
In Destinesia, we forget to remember. What is created lives forever. The mystery is deepened.
