Val Denham & Vanessa Sinclair: Valessa
Valessa is a years long collaboration between artists Val Denham and Vanessa Sinclair. Rooted deeply in the disruptive cut-up approaches and reverence for random revelations, both artists have respectively built a large body of work celebrating transcendences and transgressions in collage, poetry, painting, photography, music, and any and all kinds of composites. The artists have now joined forces in the project Valessa. Working with and on the very same visual artworks, each artist has left her undeniable signature in both style and content. Many of the textual cut-ups integrated in their collages and paintings have been transcribed, and there are also unique written pieces for this project. Valessa is a magical tour de force of the active imagination and beyond – an epiphanic insight into the unconscious ”third mind” (as defined by William Burroughs and Brion Gysin) and how it can express itself in most peculiar – and delightful – ways. This 200 page book contains over sixty four...
Back on Rendering Unconscious
I’m on Vanessa’s excellent podcast Rendering Unconscious again: Video: Audio: (And/or wherever you listen to podcasts) Our conversation delved deep into various fascinating topics surrounding magic, mentoring, psychoanalysis, and creative expression. We discussed the inception of my magic mentoring program, ”Source Magic Mentorship,” and the positive impact it has had on both me and the mentees involved. We emphasized the importance of mentorship in magical traditions and how it can be a transformative experience for both parties.Furthermore, we delved into the similarities between psychoanalysis and ritual magic, emphasizing the cathartic and transformative nature of both practices. We highlighted the significance of integrating creative techniques into magical practices, such as the cut-up technique and creating talismans, as tools for self-exploration and externalization of internal struggles. We touched upon the role of culture, art, and personal experience in shaping one’s...
New Class Coming Up
Announcing a new four session class: ”Kenneth Anger – American Cinemagician.” February of 2025 will be devoted to a closer look at the man, the magician, and the occult filmmaker supreme: Kenneth Anger! American “cinemagician” Kenneth Anger (1927-2023) was and remains a powerful source of inspiration for many generations of experimental artists and magicians. Anger’s meticulous work in personal and poetic films—and also his chronicling of dark aspects of Hollywood history in the legendary bestsellers Hollywood Babylon 1 and 2—make for a fascinating character that defies cultural definition. His life-long admiration for British occultist Aleister Crowley, and also his active weaving in of Crowley’s “thelemic” ideas and concepts into his own mind-opening films have created a Gesamt oeuvre that could definitely be called “talismanic.” Filmmaker Carl Abrahamsson, the teacher of this class, met Anger for the first time in Hollywood in 1990 and kept in...
