Magnum opus

Imagining & Imaging the Spiritual

Magnum Opus is a multi-part, practice-based body of work that explores how spiritual, metaphysical and psychic experiences can be made visible through artistic practice. Drawing on ritual, occult symbolism, astrology, sacred geometry and embodied methods, the work treats artmaking as an alchemical process: a means of revealing, transmuting and materialising the unseen. Each project functions as a distinct alchemical operation, investigating the relationship between body and cosmos, material and immaterial, concealment and revelation. Rather than separating the spiritual from the physical, Magnum Opus positions the body as a gateway through which metaphysical experience becomes legible in the world. Ritual practices such as repetition, trance, dialogue with elements and laboratory processes are used to anchor transcendent states in sensory, material form. The exhibition functions as an alchemical alembic: a contained vessel in which transformation occurs through repetition and attention. Occupying the productive tension between artist and occultist, the work navigates what can be revealed and what must remain earned. Knowledge is not simply presented but encountered through attention, patience and alignment. Together, the projects form an initiatory journey through the elements, where illumination is not given, but gradually disclosed.
