Jon Fox (1981, UK)
 

Shifting and sliding between layers of lucid, illusionary mindscapes and dream worlds, apparitions of characters emerge.

Embodiments, or manifestations of my own meditative thoughts and feelings. They often appear entangled within cyclical games and conflict, losing their way, or engulfed amidst the swirling clouds of a larger restless energy. 

Separately they highlight the multiplicity of a fragmented consciousness, altogether they become essential pieces of a bigger story.

Striving to discover who is in control of this inner world where ideas are conceived, decisions are weighed up, and choices are made.  Ultimately seeking the source of creation and the universal energy binding it all together.
