About my current projects:

Current projects are four books and exhibitions of conceptual art photography:
Art of MindFullness, Gods of Nature, tHiNkInG aRt, Selfs.

ART OF MINDFULLNESS
A series of photographs on the intensity and fullness of the present moment – seeing beauty and exhilarating complexity (or simplicity), open secrets and surprising truths, in the most mundane and ordinary things of everyday life.

Inspired by a quote of crazy wisdom guru Chogyam Trungpa:
“If you are fully with your mind, you could be there, on the spot. But at the same time, you do not have to focus your whole system on one point of reference. In fact there is a very interesting dichotomy here, which comes from the fact that you have no understanding of who you are. You don’t know who you are. You haven’t even got a clue, or that is the clue. Maybe we could use the clue as you. But that is as far as we get, rather than getting to the actuality of what you is all about. Therefore you cannot concentrate your mind. The closest you can come is to be mindful, mind full. The very vague state that exists, known as consciousness, has never seen itself, but is there. It has never felt itself, but it moves, it happens. Now that state is what we call mind can be full. We can be mind full.”

GODS OF NATURE
“All things are full of gods.” – Thales

A series of mythosymbolic flower and nature photographs, using only the iPhone Hipstamatic app.

tHiNkInG aRt
“The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.” – Martin Heidegger

Conceptual aesthetics – philosophical pictorials, thinking symbolism, multi-level realities, poly-contextual embeddedness, psychospiritual pointers, meta-facets of meaningfullness.

SELFS
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself.
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
- Walt Whitman

A series of conceptual art self portraits reflecting the many possible aspects of identity, personality, self and character. Calling into question fixed notions of sexuality, self image, self reflection, felt identity, body consciousness and social roles and norms.
