As we create art as an expression of ourselves, we translate our perceptions and emotions into a physical format that tells our inner story. However, as our inner story is translated through our own personal life-experience filters, what is expressed physically is not necessarily read by the viewer as a similar experience. For the past 150 years the art world has been encouraging of the viewer's experience to be open to any interpretation that their own life-experience filters place on a work of art; I want the viewer to enter into the communication with me and have a more complete understanding of what I experienced in the moment, in the process of the creation and of the emotions it conjured, and then, from there, to process all of the input through their personal filters to create their own expanded experience.
Our current life experiences are processed through our senses, the 5 main senses which are the most commonly understood: taste, smell, touch, sound and visual experiences. What 'excrypted-art' asks you to do is to align your senses along a guided pathway to utilize more areas of the brain, and more of it's cells, for an expanded experience of the artwork.
