Ceramic Mask by Samuel McCormick

“This piece was the culmination of many techniques I had been working on and developing for a long time. I wanted to capture the experience of altered states of consciousness where the feeling of body and self changes form and begin to dissolve away entirely. Through meditation and by chemical means I have become acquainted with these states and it is one of my goals as an artist to try and convey their essence of total perfection.”

"The experience I am referring to is very abstract and impossible to convey in words. Through my art, I can hint at the nature of these experiences and and allow people to explore this side of consciousness when words aren't enough, or inspire a sense wonder as to what lies beyond our normal consciousness."
