The Prophets describe what they saw in vision as real and existing men, whom they saw with their imaginative and immortal organs; the Apostles the same; the clearer the organ the more distinct the object. A spirit and a vision are not as the modern philosophy supposes, a cloudy vapour, or a nothing; they are organized and minutely articulated beyond all that the mortal and perishing nature can produce. He who does not imagine in stronger and better lineaments, and in stronger and better light, than his perishing mortal eye can see, does not imagine at all. The painter of this work asserts that all his imaginations appear to him infinitely more perfect and more minutely organized than anything seen by his mortal eye. Spirits are organized men.
The Clearness of Vision – William Blake
At any time and nexus of history there appear individuals who – ostensibly involuntarily – have visions of spirits, events, gods or saints. The pictures of models, objects and constructions that are randomly displayed on this website were made to have a record of an ongoing struggle to transform such clearness of vision into physical objects for any mortal eye to perceive.
They appear on the horizon of my inner mind in short flashes at first, like subliminal projections or apparitions in a plasma state, quivering and shimmering as an object made of jelly.
Gradually over a period of time, probably as a result of my conscious mind trying to get a clearer picture of this still incomprehensible apparition continuing to occupy a visual field on the eyelids of my closed eyes and simultaneously starting to occupy my thought processes to the point where it virtually dominates my thoughts and life. Coercing me, so to speak, into the process of groping my way along with pieces of cardboard, string, rubber bands, glue, in short anything nearby serving the purpose of capturing this by now becoming a crystallized spatial dimensional object that has turned into a dominant entity in my conceptual life, from where I graduate, as it were, to construct the contents in the pictures which are displayed herein in a random fashion at short intervals so it will be possible for the viewer to have a similar subliminal experience of these visions, which I believe are the harbingers of the New Age that we will need to create for ourselves in order to cope with fundamental and irreversible changes in the Earth's biosphere underfoot since the previous and for continuing decades to come.
