As a neonatologist, I encounter life and death situations at the very beginnings of life. Alchemizing scenarios where cradle becomes grave through art became not just desireable but an unquenched necessity. Making cryptoglyph art is more about the mood I set within than the strokes I make on paper. The meditation is clearing obstactles of cognitive bias and ego and allowing a different subconscious intelligence to emerge and produce the glyph. The truth is many times I find myself in my head ruminating, interfering and trying to produce something of value. Other times, there is a simple, tranquil generative quality to the mind that expands and feels like abundance waiting to empty on the page.
