Soul Atlas is a live-streamed artwork in which I will spend 24 hours in an 8-foot cube. During this time, I will track various states of consciousness. The work will include a progressive discourse on these states of consciousness that will be drawn and painted onto the interior of the cube.
Utilizing various tracking methods, I will explore and map thoughts, sensations, emotions, and visions. Visual mapping will be written, drawn and painted onto the interior of the Temenos. Through storytelling, I will explore the mythic journey of the Soul.
