'Life is the Gateway Consciousness' Print

A wall sculpture in hard resin and hand-printed cloth. The piece is a modern style, like street art, but expanding on it in 3D to make a more dynamic piece than flat art. This piece does not need you to go buy a frame. It hangs like a hard cloth ghost pushing through your wall. I designed and produced the brick pattern fabric using a wood block print technique. The pattern is a wall that is breaking. The wall breaks, the bricks tumble. The wall falls as the face pushes through. ‘Life is the Gateway Consciousness’ This work builds on street art. Walls separate us from what is beyond. Do you want to go further? Walls, that we use as a canvas for street art, are actually barriers. That is their purpose. Society often warns us about pushing through barriers, by telling us that is dangerous to go through: "Smoking is the gateway to drug use and heroin", or "Permissive parenting if a gateway to antisocial behaviour”. These warnings are often not about our own safety, but are from fear of what people can achieve for themselves, without other people controlling them. Gateways are often positive. Instead of saying that gateways lead to illegal dangers, we could say “Music is a gateway to emotions”, or "Bravery is a gateway to experience”. We are emotional beings, capable of far greater consciousness and realisations than we are trained for. All growth and movements and changes include some risk. Human experience and the value of life is reduced by fears about going through new gateways. Be careful, mostly, but do not give in to fear. Push through the walls. The gateway to a full conscious existence is embracing life.
