Artist Statement
The original Greek etymology of utopia meant “no place”, and later converged with the English homophone eutopia meaning “good place” resulting in a linguistic joke: The good place is no place. This internalized supposition perpetuates complacency in our society. Trans-utopian de-constructs this calcified ideology through tran-scendence. Celestial-Dream-Pop describes contemporary folk art reconstructed through the methodology of a cosmic-seeker.
Firing clay turns a porous substance into a stable, vitrified object with a permanent molecular arrangement. This transformation is a reflection of manifesting thought-forms from the raw materials of creative energy through intentional manipulation of personal belief.
