Veronika McGinnis has been building world's which allow her to explore reality through altered states of consciousness. Although, despite these interventions, Veronika is ultimately pulled back into reality through an embodied relationship to physical pleasure and human suffering. Through the use of induced trance and meditation, Veronika experiences visions which come to the surface of her mind. Wake Up, Star Seed is a physical expression of her inner thoughts. It explores a stream of consciousness in the hopes of achieving mindfulness through magick; while processing guilt and loss.


Submission for ARTCONNECT Video / PASSION 

I am submitting stills from video's I have been working on in 2020. They are mixed media, using a combination of digital manipulation, green screen, sculpture, painting, drawing, projection and performance.  

I am a multi-disciplinary artist from Amiskwacîwâskahikan-Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I received my Fine Arts Diploma from Grant MacEwan in 2017, and continued my studies at the University of Alberta where I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2019. Conceptually, my work explores conscious and unconscious worlds, addressing themes of mysticism, sexuality and repression of the psyche.

I have better quality versions of these images!
