Light Consciousness - A Psychedelic Travellers Journey by Roger Foley Fogg

I am delighted to be quoted in Roger Foley’s wonderful new book, Light Consciousness - A Psychedelic Travellers Journey which charts his career as one of Australia’s leading lighting designers. Roger began designing rock concerts and psychedelic light shows in the 1960s. His experimental work—including his lumino-kinetic Light Sculpture—continued through the 1970s and anticipated many of today’s multimedia installations and immersive experiences. Roger asked me to contribute my thoughts on abstract art and its creation after reading an earlier reflection on abstraction in my Art Journal. His book is an extraordinary record of the beginnings of an art form that has now become widely recognised and fashionable: the multimedia experience.
