Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Grass is Greener 5th May 2020

The Grass is Greener series are the first mirror photography art that really deeply excited me, I have been experimenting with mirroring my photos for a good few years before I created this Grass is Greener art,  it was at this point I realised that the complexity in nature can create some spectacular geometric worlds.

Grass is Greener #1 & #2 from my Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection. This photographic art, is a photo taken in a dear friend’s front garden, of his wild grasses, Herb Robert and Plantains. The art is Totem pole art, when the plants photos are mirrored mysticism happens, Totem poles of creature’s strange faces appear. Psyconauts take a voyage in the garden.

Thistle Crocodiles –  Sots Hole Nature Reserve 6th November 2023

Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Thistle Crocodiles – Sots Hole Nature Reserve 2023 Prickly Thistles and Tree Beard!

Creeping thistles to sit on and Tree Beard!

We have all done it, out in the sunshine, wanting to sit in the wild grasses and we either put our hands or arses on these spikey devils. OUCH!  But have you ever really explored them, their prickly pain givers are so uniform. Precisely lined up in a mathematical equation.  World class defenders of there own realm.

I have seen these plants around all over the place, and never really took any notice, but in the Psychedelic Voyager realms of art, this little prickle makes a bold geometric statement, I get very excited now when I spot a good one tucked away in the Sots Hole Nature Reserve, amongst the leaf decay.  Along side this Thistle Crocodile is Tree beard with a Creeping Buttercup beard and decaying crown.  His army of thistles close by.

Fern Synergy – Life & Decay 2023 – Sots Hole Nature Reserve.

Ferns! I just love Ferns, beautiful exotic, textured spore spilling plants.  In the summer I planted a few different varieties in my Garden Nook under the tree.  This is one of them, it’s a Ladder Fern. Blechnum spicant, & Dryopteris erythrosora. Wood fern. Japanese Shield fern.  The unravelling leaves on both plants are just so pretty and delicate to look at and photograph.

 

Autumn is an epic time to photograph the wild common ferns, the colour displays they give are spectacular.  I wasn’t disappointed when visiting Sots Hole Nature Reserve in Lyndon West Bromwich, and found this hedgerow erupting in colour.  These beautiful plants and there wonderous symmetry have lead me to creating Fern Synergy – Life & Decay.  This piece of art has become my new favourite.  The warmth of orange, which also symbolises a beautiful process of decay.   The fading lush green tendrils covered carrying dark orange / red spores, ready to drop and scatter to give new life.  Nature has all the resources it needs for the cycle of life.

Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Peacock Tails – Croatian Water Angel 2019

Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Peacock Tails – Croatian Water Angel 2019

Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Peacock Tails – Croatian Water Angel 2019

I always find sea & coastal plants are far more interesting, almost exotic compared to the everyday flora I see inland in the UK.  When I was in Croatia along the Okrug Gornji coastline I was delighted to find these common brown algae ‘Peacock Tail’ in the shallow water.  These common brown Algae were dancing their angle wings in time with the seas currents.  They were quite hard to capture on camera because of the constant movements of the water, but this  motion also added a soft fluid distorted quality to the images, enhancing the watery magic.

When I put the Peacock Tail under water images through photoshop and mirrored the images, the dark line of the seas current became the outline of an angel, hence the name Croatian Water Angel.

The Water Angel image inspires me to make more under water flora creations in the future, both at home and abroad.

Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – The Ovule Cycle of Life – Cow Parsnip – River Adur August 2021

I have had an interest in the structure of Cow Parsnip for a long time.  I really enjoy the late summer flowers, and the early autumn seed pods that weigh the parsnip flower heads down heavily to the ground, ready to reproduce, to be taken by the soil and leaf decay.

It looks like there are some myths & legends around Cow Parsnip or Hogweed

I marvel at the Cow Parsnips delicate cloud of white flowers, how they stand so proudly, always to be seen along foot paths and cycle lanes

The inspiration for The Ovule Cycle of life is about the seed pods, their oval shapes.  The intense weight that the seed pods grow into, to produce such delicate flowers the following summer.

The art is inspired by Bjork’s song Ovule.  The centre of this image is the geometric womb.  The seed pods are bending towards their reproduction.  The white delicate flowers are washed outwards, ready to decompose, to feed the soil with nutrients for next years crop.

Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Coleus Cube May 2020

Coleus Cube

Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Coleus Cube May 2020

Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Coleus Cube was inspired when I was hanging out with a guy who had just started to explore the world of house plants.  Amongst the Spider plants and Monstera, he also grew some Coleus from seeds.  They took  a while to pop into life and were almost too small to see, the tiny plants grew slowly for a while and then burst in to action.

The Coleus plant ended up being a monster Coleus bush, it looked like a small red alien tree. . . Flaming curvy leaves with bright green edging.   The Coleus was visually stunning, a real eye opener and a great start at growing plants from seed.

Here’s is a useful article for growing Coleus from seeds

I took many photos of this delightful plant and enjoyed playing around with the images after in photoshop, the reds and greens so striking.  I feel like the finished psychedelic art is ready to be folded into a cube, or has the chaos of an opened duo colour Rubix Cube.

The guy was also into geometry so the Coleus Cube seemed to be the perfect name for this stunning plant  turned into a psychedelic creation

So, I am back again with that question: “how does this art “Icy Henge – Mouth Mantra” make the viewer feel”?

Posted on November 29, 2022

So, I am back again with that question: “how does this art “Icy Henge – Mouth Mantra” make the viewer feel”?

This next piece is a bit more earthy than the other Psychedelic Voyager pieces.

The original photo of Icy Henge was taken up at the Dew Pond.  The Pond is located near Hollingbury Hillfort / castle and sits overlooking Wild Park.  I love having an early morning wonder with my Dog, Sookie.  We often end up at the Dew Pond.

This particular morning was cold, with a frost.  A nice crisp fresh early morning walk. To my excitement, when we arrived at the Dew pond, there was an outer crust of ice, all along the edge of the pond.  The ice reminded me of teeth poking out from muddy gums, or ice Quarts standing stones, from a techno Stone Henge.

Once I created the symmetry art, the Icy Henge did become very Techno in the centre crest.  I feel it looks like some futuristic music speaker, pumping Bjork’s music into the festival boundaries of the Quarts Standing Stones. If I were to liken this image to any music it would be Bjork’s, Mouths Cradle. From her voice only album Medulla.

So, how does this art “Icy Henge” make the viewer feel? I would really appreciate any feedback here, or via my social media feeds, like Facebook or Instagram.  Any feedback will be graciously received.

All art work is available to purchase, please do message me for more details.

Sonic Rock Solstice 2022 photos

Sonic Rock Solstice 16th June 2022 Photos

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a cracking event Sonic Rock Solstice 16th June 2022 was.  I had spotted the incredible line up on the Sonic Rock Solstice Facebook event and was instantly excited.  I knew I had to get to this event and take some photos. You can see a few of my photos below.

The fact that a band called “Tentacles of Static” were playing, I guessed that this would be something to do with Eat Static & Orzric Tentacles.  And indeed, it was. Tentacles of Static are a blend of both Ozrics & Eat Static.  This was the first live performance of the Tentacles and the first time Ed & Merv had collaborated live on stage in a very long time.

Check out the Tentacles of Static  Sonic Rock Solstice live performance below: Video credit to Etheral Nige.

The other bands that drew me into this incredible line up were:

Ozric Tentacles

ZubZub

Lacertilia

Invisible Opera Company of Tibet

KrankSchaft

I had often seen Sonic Rock Solstice advertised, but was never able to make it.  I had a chance to look back at some of there lineups over the years, and wow, they have had some exceptional headliners over the years.  You can check out all the old flyers and new line ups here: Sonic Rock Solstice.  Here are a few photos below, you can find the full set here Sonic Rock Solstice H-Pinkness P1 & P2
