Deep reality

Deep Reality, 2007, Oil on canvas on board

Deep reality might be described as a conception of reality that acknowledges the absence of individual or bounded entities. Instead, reality is understood as an essentially unbroken continuum, albeit one that appears as uneven, fluctuating and variegated.

Objects, as they appear to us, are better understood as indefinitely extending relationships of perceptual attributes, clumps of seemingly localised properties with infinitely distributed parts, most of which we are habitually oblivious to.
