'And in the bloodlit dark behind his eyes, silver phosphenes boiled in from the edge of space, hypnagogic images jerking past like a film compiled of random frames. Symbols, figures, faces, a blurred, fragmented mandala of visual information.'
-W Gibson

Phosphene: : a luminous impression that occurs when the retina undergoes nonluminous stimulation (as by pressure on the eyeball when the lid is closed)

I feel as though I have lived mostly at that intersection between waking and sleep - meandering near the border between awareness and hallucination.
Maybe that is the way everyone feels, I dunno, I can only speak to my own experience.

'Phosphenes' is another excerpt from my up-coming installation work, '26 Suicides'.

Phosphenes

In the dog-days of the Australian summer, when day after day of relentless heat evaporates everything volatile, including one's will to move, to eat...we wait for the thunder cracks that open up the sky, releasing the Strange Rain.
