SUBCONSCIOUS REALITY IMAGERY
My artwork is about images in the subconscious mind. Knowing can be divided into three parts: Consciousness, the Subconscious, and the Unconscious. Consciousness is readily available. Unconsciousness is difficult to access but can be revealed in dreams and through hypnosis. Subconsciousness lies between Consciousness and the Unconscious. Psychology defines the subconscious as “part of our mind that is not in current awareness.” It lies just below the surface of consciousness and has its own reservoir of images that try to make sense of the visible world found in consciousness. Subconscious Reality Imagery (SRI) refers to images, based on experience, that lie between the unconscious and consciousness. These images appear as figurations resembling reality but manifest themselves as completely different in form and color.
Psychologists often view the subconscious as limited to our preoccupations, unresolved issues, obsessions, etc. In my view, the subconscious contains more than this. It is a phase that precedes consciousness. In this phase of consciousness, the subconscious mind is in the process of organizing what is seen. This image is not yet complete as the final image until consciousness organizes it into something that resembles reality in our consensus of meaning.
In conclusion, the subconscious contains images of an object before it appears as something that resembles reality. Something is seen that does not appear in the external manifestation of the object. Since what is perceived by the subconscious does not resemble what is actually seen, I call these images “mutations.” Others might refer to this as the “essence” of the object. Moreover, what is perceived in the subconscious might appear as malevolent or spiritual essences. This is dependent on the eye of the beholder, whether this be the artist or the audience.
