Conan McIvor


My artistic practice is primarily concerned with exploring the mythical, the sacred and the divine with an ever-present undercurrent of the ethereal. I often use the camera lens to reveal and magnify the spiritual relationship between the physical and abstract qualities of performances; and use elements of dream, ritual, and metaphor to create a dramatic visual landscape. I am interested in subjects and ideas that occupy the space between, the shades of grey that exist as the impermanent or unseen.
