Art is an amazing
form of therapy and expression. The surrealist technique of automatic
painting is also wonderful when exploring the subconscious; in this
image, the parrot/flying eye was originally intended as the whole
of the design, it was only upon completion that I noticed the Alien
girl this piece is named after. This seems to be a leftover of LSD-25
use in the 90's, psychedelic art as a therapy for recurring flashbacks
plumbs the depths of the LSD instinct.
Once again, the
subconscious comes through in this stylised representation of Psylocibe
Cubensis mushrooms. As well as the 'Dragon Faces' visible in the main
visual effect around the 'shrooms, a more 'Tarantulaic' spirit can
be seen as a hidden image (subconsciously provided). The mandibles
of the spiders are to be seen in the mushroom caps, their eyes (bizarrely)
are below the mandibles and the white lines surrounding the whole
are web-like in appearance. I only noticed this image after having
finished the painting and was quite worried by it's seeming agressiveness
until having put it into context (having recognised the tarantulas).
