Artistic thought all over the world is concerned with the subtle energies that flow round the vegetable part of the human body and also with the flowers on this tree, the chakras which operate as its organs of perception. In another way of looking at it, this vegetable consciousness is another dimension, the world between worlds and the gateway to the spirit worlds. The implication is that if we can locate the secret source of our imaginings we can control the flow of the artwork. Its what has been referred to as the “unencumbered, mobile, detached inner eye.” The mission of these two artists was to engage in a kind of mental gymnastics as a way to bring the three human bodies, material, vegetable and animal, into harmony. However, unless you have chaos inside you, you cannot give birth to a painting or video. The artists in question refer to their process as “the dance of the substances”. After awhile it causes matter to coagulate into a variety of strange shapes. It is their intention to create works born of such intense concentration and visualization so that they may attain some sort of independent life and go off and do their bidding.
