PORTRAIT OF SECRET SIGNALS, NO. 2 by Christina Dallas


Digital c-print, 20" x 24", 2013

#

Christina Dallas is a photographer and installation artist who lives in Brooklyn, NY. Her work has been shown in galleries in New York, California, New Mexico, and Germany. She has a MFA in Photography from UCLA. A symbolist and iconographer, she seeks to connect the unconscious with the conscious, and merge polarities, light with darkness. Her work has sought to be a testament to the spiritual and obvious magical properties of photography. The camera as a witness and a tool of alchemy, that which is a conduit of light, casting spirit into matter. These images speak about the nature of portraiture and that which is ineffable, and hidden, secret signs and symbols. All of her models are a reflection of herself or twin self. The camera as a mirror, a reflecting tool, that which makes the resulting image a portrait of the psyche and its inner and outer workings. These psychic portraits reference her own experiences of a mystical nature and are not digitally composed. All images are taken either from her installations, that are set up and photographed, or live models.

THE RED MOUTH by Winston Plowes

The ever-widening ugly
corner of his red mouth.

The stormy double life that travelled
a great many miles in his sleep.

The piano, mechanically frail
heard through twenty years of fog.

The old family secret blotted out inside
never to go home again.

The first passionate tingling would
begin where child-hood had left off

All the above words (including the title) were found in the 1923 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, One of Ours by Willa Cather, Knopf, 1922. Book 4, Chapter 7, pp 303-306.

#

Lauryn Hill said “We can't plan life, all we can do is be available for it.” If Winston Plowes were to unpack his suitcase it would contain, a wise old cat, his beautiful daughter, his bicycle, too many bottles of wine, a floating home, banana sandwiches, packets of noodles and so many spiral bound notebooks crammed with words rescued from their past lives, which he now gives back to you. He is ready… www.winstonplowes.co.uk

TERRATEMPLE by Pereira Irving Paul


16.5" x 23.4"

Pen and acrylic on fine grain, heavy weight paper

In an unseen simultaneous universe, just one degree away from our reality, shamanistic, extraterrestrial and underworld powers intervene in the life force and consciousness of the material world via intentions of the magicians who call upon them. These 'deities' help manage and balance the volatile energies of a world in crisis.

#

Pereira Irving Paul is a practicing occultist and multidisciplinary outsider artist. HIs artistic practice involves a deep investigation into altered states of reality, obscure occultism from the stars and underworld Hadean energies. He has self published five books of poetry and stories, several art books and a host of experimental albums, all of which are available on his site. He is also a professional Tarot reader and healer. www.ipaulpereira.com

NEGOTIATION OF THE FOUR WORLDS by Pereira Irving Paul


23.4" x 16.5"

Pen, collage, and acrylic on fine grain, heavy weight paper

The negotiation involves the alchemical transformation of the artists' interior world and the exorcism of inner dimensions of fear. The large woman-beast is the dark mother, the destroyer. The serpent and the reptile are primal powers representing snake wisdom and raw animism. The magickal figure is the higher self of the artist, seen here with his aura protected. The occult cards are archetypes, much like the tarot and an exchange of cards represent an exchange of energies needed for the transformation in the artist to occur.
