About the Artwork:
“This image explores some differing subjective experiences and stereotypes of psychedelic mushrooms. The silhouette reminiscent of a carnival ride, fun, bright and noisy, this goddess can be playful. Posing for the audience she holds their phallic driven minds captive, they emerge from the darkness attracted to her light she takes you on a terrible ride. Stripping away your masks exposing your inner light, naked and cold to the hungry void.” – Andrew Swarbrick

(Artist Bio)
Andrew Swarbrick based in north Canterbury, New Zealand has been working in oils for over 13 years. His work is an exploration of mental and existential states, philosophy and spirituality, conveying moods and story with striking images from his imagination. His heavy use of symbolism in the surreal worlds he creates only adds o the layers of these multi-faceted works. Ranging from the fun, playful and mundane, which can be enjoyed as merely striking images, to the deeper layered visions to be explored as deep oceans of existentialism, absurdism and humanism.
