Owen Demers

I am interested in exploring the spiritual quality of SELF in the letting go of identity and form. When we have released all attachment to the recognizable, then new possibilities of reality present themselves and our lives subsequently become richer and deeper.

To assist in this exploration I make use of many different mediums to express ambiguity, rhythm, formlessness, confusion, fragmentation and landscape.
