Abstract
This study examines an individual path through creative practice which draws from esoteric
literature and builds upon a culture of contemporary relevance. Through the application of
themes such as Taoism, anthropological magic, hip hop music and abstract expressionist
painting, all of which influence my personal creative journey, I am able to contextualise methods
of production and place them within the serendipitous context from which the works originated.
By expressing themes of the world that are somewhat unknown, like the depiction of God or the
understanding of magic, I set out to inform, through clues, a process and a hybrid of themes that
reset the stage in a collective fashion of individual belief.
