Artist statement
There were certain recurring visions in all of my Shamanic quests. I didn’t see angels or aliens, nor did God appear in my visions. Trees were simply trees, but they shimmered in vibrant colors, with branches sprawling in every direction and bearing the most colorful fruit. Human figures remained human, though their proportions were distorted—eyes could stretch to cover half their body. I also saw figures dressed in rainbow-colored armor, firing deep blue arrows into the tops of velvet trees. There were tribes of snakes, schools of phosphorescent fish, a weeping salamander, and countless other inspiring creatures.
Another consistent theme was motion—everything was constantly in motion. Nothing stood still. Even the trees moved. Later, I realized that in the Ayahuasca vision quest, trees have no roots, and figures have no fixed outlines.
All of these experiences led to creating the artwork I call ‘I Am Wasca’.
