Since college I've always liked to draw and paint spontaneous organic forms. In surrealism this is known as 'biomorphism'.
Years later I began to formulate a story or sort of mythology linking my surreal/fantasy landscapes together. I started to think of my biomorphic forms within these landscapes as trans-dimensional beings of some kind and started calling them 'luminorphs'.
Also, I like the ghostly and other-worldly quality of glowing multicolored organic forms that actually exist in our 3 dimensional reality: unusual deep sea creatures like jellyfish, luminescent fungi and nebulae. I've gradually combined these shapes with my own biomorphic imagery in varying degrees to create more luminorphs.
I watched the David Attenborough documentary, Blue Planet, and the episode called 'The Deep' shows you all that stuff. Looks so cool, it literally seems like it isn't from earth cos it's so different to everything you would normally look at!
I've always liked David Attenborough and his nature shows like "Blue Planet".
