PYRA
Pyra is a multimedia artist, observer of strange portents and student of Psychology situated in the PNW; pursuing the fundamental interactions between Jungian theory, existential disturbance and the hidden world via psychic automatism. Her philosophy obediently indulges the absurd, inexplicable and vaguely ominous results that arise...
In 2009 she established Jackalope in a tiny metaphysical marketplace to paint the portraits of patrons' shadow selves through the automatism method of art-making.
A decade later in 2019, Jackalope by Pyra was granted its own concentrated 'liminal space', the Mysterium, extending this exploration and forming an esoteric exhibition.

PSYCHIC AUTOMATISM
A technique consisting variously of unconscious provocation, sensory limitation, and flirtation with liminality via different mediums to produce a tangible result. A call from and answer to the void.
The outcome can be described as chimeric and oracular in nature, prompting interpretation defying the explicit.
Historically, 20th century artist, Austin Osman Spare, is considered to have pioneered this innovation as a creative form with occultic inference.
Here you will find ongoing projects under the method by Pyra, concentrated as a mystery initiative.
Descriptors are limited on this site to allow for immersion in the nature of the method.
