Jaret L. Johnston

I am a devotional visionary artist working in video, with words, music, and painting vociferously. I use the word visionary to describe my work because, although many people viewing my work can find our consensus reality represented in the forms, the source of this imagery transcends what it is to be human. Divination, meditation, breath work, ceremony, dreaming and shamanism are a few of the disciplines with which I engage to source the imagery.

I routinely use superposition of a grid, to show how our physical world aligns with the omnipresence of an invisible consciousness pervading all life. I refine the imagery using principles of Sacred Geometry, Lissajous figures, Semiotics or Cymatics. Additive and subtractive techniques are employed, depending on the intention for each project and the medium. As an Archer intends to hit a target through practice, my participation with the above-mentioned disciplines is a specific refinement of the imagery, which feeds consciousness in myself and the viewer.
