I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas-Denton. I began my vocation through a nine year apprenticeship with my mentor, Richard M. Owsley. I can be found around Denton troubling students and professors about this and that. A fringe scholar wandering the borderlands between the Academy and the World, I love the hell out of Socrates and Yoda while tending to act like William S. Burroughs and Jaba the Hut. My current projects include studies of the Dào Dé Jing, the intersection of Karl Jaspers’ periechontology with Tarot, and the challenge of queering existential hermeneutics.
My own life’s work as an artist is an expression of energy, creating my response to what I feel is needed for harmony between my consciousness and the cosmos. Visionary art is this pursuit of harmony, in courageous creativity for the sake of oneself and all, in mutual enrichment- imaging the permaculture of the world spirit, the path for a permanently aligned culture where all beings may be happy- eyes and heart ablaze. This isn’t for a static equilibrium, but dynamically to a higher balance, where new conscious patterns will unfold for us to perceive and live into being. The evolutionary shift of the human species and biosphere is into an aeon of living in networked awareness. This emergence of the collective egalitarian mind requires the wild uniqueness of each part, the precious distinctiveness of its perspective and functioning. A healthy whole needs not only harmony, but also diversity and a free flow of information.
