A few words about the Psilocylia Project. |
Psilocylia is a project that was mistakenly born January 17, 2007.
Many years of manipulating imagery in various ways for the purpose of entertaining myself developed into a powerful creative and expressive outlet. It has no definitive message or purpose. It simply exists to be that which the viewer determines it to be. Everything you see here is what you make of it.. there is never an incorrect outcome. That is all that needs to be said about the nature of this project for now. Here are two questions I am asked fairly frequently regarding this project. The single answer covers both questions. 1. What does the word "Psilocylia" mean? Where did it come from? 2. What is the meaning behind a particular image or the project as a whole? I chose the name Psilocylia after much thought and careful deliberation to collectively represent the works produced that share a common purpose or goal. Every aspect of this project serves a purpose and carries meaning which can be either obvious, cryptic, or obscured.. more often than not these can only be truly discovered and understood by the viewer. The name given to this project is no exception. Certainly I have my own opinion regarding the purpose or meaning of everything here, but I am simply a viewer just like you. My interpretation is no more definitive than yours even if I am the one who constructed it. Once I have finished creating something, the meaning is no longer in my hands... not that It ever really was.... |
