Female-fluid context-embedded dream body as a core of beauty

• As in contrast to singular, suspended-in-vacuum beauty standards with surrounding artificial-construction (catwalks, expensive hotel lobbies, nightclubs, bedrooms, studios).
• Beauty embedded in action and movement: the subtle-expression of deeper essence, fundamental aliveness, and the immersive dream-like beauty of the present moment which the embedded feminine infuses.

Embodied surrealism

• Psychedelic in a supremely embodied way, in sync with the aliveness of the universe; in contrast to the usual abstracted, disembodied, centered psychedelic art.
• Embodied surrealism, without pessimism, nihilism, or absurdity.
• Primal movement, extended into its full and glorious reality (the invisible experience).

Primality

• The vivid outward-pouring power of predation; predatory instinct and consummation
• Primal and transcendent energy, dripping from paintings
• The sharpening and purifying clarity of moonlight
• Animism, the collectivity of animal spirits alive within and through us
• The God-energies, divinity flowing through us and the animal kingdom in the non-pinnacled “existing-in-itself” groundedness of releasing into natural energies

Concrete abstraction

The beauties of abstraction, embodied in recognizable concretes; still of-the-world and integrated with our direct perception.
