Work in Progress:
Delusions of Consciousness
Q’rea
What started as a portfolio blossomed into an ensemble of story, art, dualities, inversions, spirals, fractals, philosophy, process, and projection. Map the mind, the madness. Mythos, Logos, and Métis.

of Métis
Interpretations:
Mythos:
Minds through metaphor
Subjective
Logos:
Means through reason
Objective
Métis:
Matters through manoeuvre
Instructive
Incarnations:
Method Maps of Loci
This serves more of an introduction, to an introduction. Littered through these works are references to the Q’rea. A work in progress. A living document of investigation, inquiry, and interrogation of a designers mind, to find the cause to create.
A memory palace of metaphor, meanders, and measures. From affects, to causes, to effects. Effects that produce these and many other works. Attempts to capture the affects, however imperfect. Not for answers but attention...to simply know it exist. Even if only for the briefest of moments.
More will come but do know if it takes me another decade, I’m willing. As the act of creation gives access to a language beyond the words and impressions we make.

Preamble from the Q’rea
Where’s the Aether? The elixir of existence. Source of being. Becoming. The spark of creation. Potentiality. The grip that holds idea. Attention. Obsession. The will to create. To act. To serve. To be.
Smarter people can chase what the Aether of the day is—Be it Will, beauty, zero-point energy, infinities, singularities, quantised gravity, computation, divine insight, imagination, or consciousness.
I just wanted to know where inspiration lived. So I could steal it. Cut cognitive travel time between concepts. Create quicker. Develop an intuition for connection. Temet nosce, so to speak.
Maps were required. Paths to develop.
A dynamic place to describe, design, document, and even draft doctrine. Inaccuracy and informality were my guide. A knowledge-base of knowledge. A way to revisit unknown knowns. Or reveal renamed knowns now unknown.
Borrow, bastardise, and rebuild latticeworks of mental models. Methods of loci. Mandalas. A few marked maelstroms. Track threads from Marco Polo to the Minotaur. From Mercury to Mother. From mice to men.
An attempt was made to map the terrain, avoid apophenia, and make sense of the mind’s fractal coastline. Even if it could only ever map one mind—Mine.

Put the universe in your works, make maps of maps of maps, to test the terrain. Listen to both hemispheres, the left and the right. See where they resist. Grasp that metaphor motivates makers. Makers motivate measures that grip. Model not for authority, but for invitation...because it is probably riddled with imperfection but that is seemingly the source of creation.
