What is visual art
Visual art is art that is solely consumed by looking. There is overlap, but visual art is distinct from performance, conceptual, installation, and any other art form that engages multiple senses.
I consider myself a visual artist because I use a variety of techniques in my work as opposed to being a painter or photographer. In addition to painting and photography, I use sculpture, printmaking, drawing, collage, book-making, assemblage, video, digital manipulation, crafts, appropriation and AI.
My work is a left-hand path occult practice of personal growth, healing and development based in Hermetic philosophy, Satanism, Witchcraft, Chaos Magick and Jungian alchemy and shadow work.
My aesthetic serves as self expression, but also as a mockery of traditional art motifs and the notions of beauty and divinity. I use whatever materials are available to me, especially discarded and found items.
