Nat Girsberger STATEMENT My collages are a collaboration with my unconscious, in which I artistically adventure into the infinity of my psyche. Applying an instinctive, “automatic” process of selecting and arranging, my subconscious mind discovers new relationships by juxtaposing what does not usually go together. The infinite possibilities of the process suit my inner world, while liberating my experience from the boundaries of rationalism. My traditional, analog approach as I hand-make collages, in conjunction with using vintage imagery, lets me understand myself as but a construct of my past experiences in a reality defined by a collective unconscious. Grasping how my current reality has come to exist then leads to its artistic defiance. I challenge its structures by setting my collages in the future, a realm that knows no barriers of what is possible, and therefore, frequently clashes with what we selectively perceive. The visual outcome is connected to the core of our truly surreal existence, yet achieves a more satisfying way of existing as a being of the present–a present in which I am quite capable of embracing my inner multiverse. My collages are a conscious uprising of pure and playful intent, which speaks to a larger existence that embraces the expansive unconscious, and the full potential of our layers of being. My art inspires others to express their limitless imaginations, while unabashedly tapping into their mystical, ever-changing energy.
