Biography
In contemplating the nature of reality and reconciling my own spiritual pursuits, exploring the subject of consciousness seemed a logical step in the right direction and a necessary challenge. In a world that is becoming more and more fragmented in thinking and behaviour, to consider the possibility that we may all be interconnected at the level of our consciousness could bring about a shift in our understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and our place in this world.
The Universe as we know it is a physical system, so where does our consciousness fit into this materiality? We know the world to be made of unconscious, mindless physical particles, yet it somehow contains the consciousness of which we are the agents. Trying to make sense of this through quantum theory is one of several approaches that I am pursuing.
My current practice aims to give consciousness and its interconnectedness a physical form, an interpretation of the concept of us being plugged into a greater intelligence - the web of Universal consciousness. I believe we are more than just our physical bodies, that we have the innate ability to sense with our mind, to send out ‘thought fingers’ that can probe into a wider consciousness for collective knowledge, information, and memory.
As part of a living ecosystem that exists and functions on this earth, it is vital that we understand how our actions affect each other, the environment, and the future of our world, and how we are in turn affected by things we have yet to understand within the cosmos.
