Douglas Joseph Reiser AKA: Diamond Joe
Welcome to Diamond Joe’s Cosmic Emporium:
Throughout my life, I have primarily concentrated my efforts on the exploration and expansion of human consciousness. With the help of entheogenic substances and the practice of Lucid Dreaming, I feel that, as an individual biological entity, I have moved closer to achieving a state of non-duality. Although I often ponder the meaning of creating art without the ego, my passion for the act of creation itself propels me forward. Manifesting the images from my imagination into the physical realm is an intrinsic part of what I am.
As I construct an Art Object using the available quantum particles, I am giving life, in this apparent reality, to a three-dimensional form. In a way, I am surrendering to the Universe’s Collective Consciousness to engage in the act of creation itself. I view the process of making art as a sacred endeavor. Each moment of creation involves being fully present in the current moment, with the art itself serving merely as a byproduct of that experience.
Everything in existence, similar to a string on my banjo, resonates vibrations throughout the universe. The materials I utilize are more ancient than life itself, having been born of supernovas and colliding neutron stars. These materials are not separate from me. I consider this when I create. Art is profound. The Artist embodies the essence of Creation itself. There is nothing more beautiful or significant.
