A rainbow arc moves across the upper canvas with the particular quality of something that is not quite a rainbow — too deliberate, too perfectly curved, the colours too saturated, the placement too specific. Iridescent cloud. Atmospheric optics. Or something using the sky the way the sky has always been used by things that understand it better than we do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist has had a lifetime of firsthand experiences that defy material science — extra sensory perception, encounters with phenomena that exist at the edge of what conventional frameworks can accommodate. The Magical Thinking Series does not argue for any particular explanation. It simply paints what has been seen and witnessed and photographed and felt, and allows the viewer to bring their own relationship with the knowable and the unknowable to the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe snow forest glows orange and pink in light that has no obvious source. The sky is the deep teal of something that knows more than it's telling. The arc moves across it with complete confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomething is up there. Whether it is cloaked is, of course, a matter of perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✨ About the Magical Thinking Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ongoing body of work exploring esoteric themes, new age philosophy, disclosure, paranormal phenomena and atmospheric events that exist at the boundary of the explainable. Each work begins with a real image — a photograph, a sighting, a firsthand experience — and becomes something that holds the question open rather than closing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📦 Shipping \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16\" × 20\"\u003c\/strong\u003e original acrylic on wood panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the \u003cstrong\u003eMagical Thinking Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned and dated 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips carefully packaged — ready to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of authenticity included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne original.
