The subsensorial refers to a realm of experience, that is beyond the capabilities of our human everyday sensory equipment. It refers to events interweaving our minds, bodies, and environments together. These events are registered on a molecular and cellular level, yet, usually do not rise to human consciousness. Nevertheless, these events have an effect on our minds, bodies, and our sense of belonging to this world - our sense of connectivity. The subsensorial is a realm where molecular prosesses and micro-messaging between cells, matter, and energy within and outside living bodies meet with a mind’s imagination and weave a weft of artistic expression. The subsensorial realm, in its nature, belongs to the field of sensory experiences, however, it traverses through surfaces, skin, even bone, stone, and water. For a human, to tune in to the subsensorial realm produces a deep embodied environmental awareness mediated by one’s senses. I create and give subsensorial sessions as part of my art practice. During these sessions I see visions of the subsensorial in my mind’s inner eye and I paint these visions. These visions appear uniquely the way they do only in a particular session and interaction with a particular human being or other entity. During this work, by methods of artistic practice, I have gained a deeper understanding of how the subsensorial realm affects our lived experience - not only in the interaction between humans - but in all our relations, be it microbes, animals, plants, landscapes, minerals, or waters.
