| Abstract
|
:
|
Using photography, I have attempted to document the ineffable and intangible matter of energy vortices by taking photographs at different sites that claim to have a vortex. What I am pointing my camera at, can’t be seen. The work in my thesis exhibition, A Subtle Kind of Beyond, consists of visual constructions born out of my visits to several different energy vortices. The sites I photographed are in Sedona, Ojai, Mount Shasta, Joshua Tree, and at the Oregon Vortex. Coming out of an experience of profound personal loss, I found myself searching in physical places, for sites where physicality was conceivably transcended. Photography is veiled in veracity, and the subject matter of energy vortices is completely wrapped up in truth and belief. The mystery of sacred sites will always be curious since there are no known answers. I believe they serve as a physical way to explore the internal realm of consciousness. This thesis is an investigation in the ineffable.
