KELSEY BROOKES | DMT
LIMITED EDITION PRE-SALE"This is a N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) molecule.
DMT is found in many plants and animals. It can be consumed as a psychedelic drug and has historically been prepared by various cultures for ritual purposes. Used to induce alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and or behavior for the purposes of engendering spiritual development in sacred contexts and for your basic run of the mill transcendence.
Science has revealed the atomic structure, bonding sites and physical behaviors of this molecule. Ethnobotany has shown how humans have been in association with it to create, modify and reimagine consciousness for thousands of years. First hand reports have described profound time-dilation, visual, auditory, tactile, and proprioceptive distortions and hallucinations, and other experiences that, by most firsthand accounts, defy verbal or visual description.
My task was to merge each of these avenues of understanding into a single piece of art that honors and reflects all those ways of knowing. It is only through the unity of objective scientific knowledge and subjective ways of understanding that one can ever hope to truly know something."
