PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE GARDEN OF FERNAL DELIGHTS

Picture
Dreams & Divinities creates artist collaborations around a book theme and then exhibits a selection of the work.

From the fertile and Fernal imagination of artist Gromyko Semper, the Fernal universe was born.

The ongoing collaborative creation and documentation of a Garden of Fernal Delights is a collaborative venture and  will be the 2015 - 2016 Dreams & Divinity project.

THE GARDEN
 The Garden of Fernal Delights is a sublime and paradisiacal place where all the delights of the natural world from the sexual to the surreal, the visionary to the instinctive, are celebrated as fundamental joys of being alive. The Garden is a multi-dimensional place where all is conscious and divinely intelligent from the animal to mineral to vegetable to the etheric. All can communicate, co-create, cooperate. This Garden of Delights knows no violence, no notion of original sin, no hierarchy, no fixed temporal system. Rather it is a place of magic, of play and playfulness. It resides in the Garden of the heart and has no limit to its creativity.

 This is our chance to explore a new imaginary world that is collectively co-created, and to try and answer:  What does a world with few boundaries and few hang-ups feel like?  How would the people live, dress and express themselves?  What would their myths be like? How would they communicate? What animals would live here? How would the scenery look like? All this and more...
