Neurotika – Fusion.

By bruceray | Published: March 28, 2012

‘It has never been my inclination to separate art from politics.’  -Pablo Neruda.  I believe that there are no contradictions in life.  We live on the floating islands of perception -we assume that our opinion is a weapon -to reconcile is heresy.  But in the ideal of Fusion -all things become one.

Neurotika – I’ Labyrinth.

By bruceray | Published: February 27, 2012

By bruceray | Published: November 25, 2011

Let us begin -by addressing the theme. The idea that madness and wisdom is close together is nothing new.
