Vaporapparition 2004
Mixed Media on Cardboard -
14 x 20 inches - Acrylic, UV reactive Acrylic, Felts (texta's)

I started this one randomly and didn't realise what I had created until it was nearing completion. I had initally wanted to have a dragon-type being forming out of chaotic random patterns and shapes and was quite surprised when I noticed a profile of a man facing the right, taking up most of the image.

I then added extra detail around the brain areas and then painted all white areas again with UV reactive paint. What struck me about this artwork was how relevent it was.

For the past six years I have been trying to express in many ways the reality of the psychedelic experience. I feel by creating this artwork, it has enabled a part of me to let go from finding a definitive answer, and maintain the unfathomable mystery of the mind and the universe that surrounds it. - Roger, 2004
