BY DAVID JOEZ VILLAVERDE
“Most art is magick. It is the same combination of intention, discipline, will, and praxis designed to open up a conscious space in the present. Most organized systems of magick borrow heavily from their predecessors — with that in mind I sought to create a series of collage erasures that would serve to reveal the esoteric within the mundane while acting as sigils. In a way, the art itself is just a metaphor, like the occult, a collection of shared symbols designed to reveal something deeper within the creator and those who follow their work.”
