The project is composed of mixed media animate-drawings, some on antique ledger paper.

The Wisdom Engines are tools for “consciousness hacking”. They explore the elasticity of time and space, the relationship between frequency and image/pattern and the synesthetic correspondence between sound, form, and colour. The work attempts to find image to express the awareness of awareness; it is at once a download and an upload. Due to their scale, spinal symbolism, and symmetry they encourage a somatic response.

 Wisdom Engines are vector maps of perception, boundlessness, and prana/life force.

The series investigates the continual interaction between the dynamics of contraction and expansion and is inspired by a practice of attuning to life and the natural world and an inquiry into the way energy moves in the organism. The drawings reflect the consideration of electromagnetism and emptiness. Ideas of architecting the mind are explored through the representation of architecture.

The work is concerned with the metaphorical and ephemeral horizon line that holds together and separates states of consciousness, the hypnagogic line crossed as one falls asleep, or even as one passes from life into death. It reflects an examination of the liminal space between states, my experience of the texture of threshold and the endeavour to report back accurately from the fractal nature of reality.

Wisdom Engines investigates the way the I ‘see’ the kinetics of sound as it filters through my perception, and records theses soundshapes in form and colour. The series is informed by a lived realization of how sound connects worlds and endeavours to describe the information and intelligence found in the traverse. There is an intuitive dimensional transposition of rhythm and pattern.

One component I call Evolutes includes invented allegorical contraptions/mechanical devices that combine angles, polarities, and repetition. They integrate representation of technologies like levers, pulleys, and pumps to symbolize the ways movement and breath can be used with precision to interrupt patterns, to strengthen electromagnetism, to vibrate the psyche and to stabilize energy.
To illuminate the mind.
In the differential geometry of curves, the evolute of a curve is the locus of all its centres of curvature. It is the shape made or point of convergence created when the centre of curvature of each point on a curve is drawn. In the context of this work, the title refers metaphorically to the continuum nature of consciousness.

Wisdom Engines integrate the study of myth, geometry and ancient sacred texts, an interest in mathematics and ecology, and a devotional practice. The drawings are inspired by hermetic illustrations, Renaissance inventions, and old patent diagrams.
They reflect the observation of my own mind and my relationship with the animate, the unseen and the elemental.
