THE UNBYGONE or: One Artist’s Humble Revolt Against the Tyranny of Progress

As an artist I essay to make contact with the unbygone sublime, the unbygone numinous, the unbygone mysterium tremendum. This is especially urgent now in an era of shallow cleverness, scientism, blind “progress,” wing-clipping hyper-reason, dogmatic secularity, and earth-alienation. To put it all another way, I aim to overthrow, or at least wildly rattle, what Rene Guenon called the “reign of quantity.” May we all remember Mahatma Marley who once sang: “There is a natural mystic blowing through the air.”
