ABOUT

Regan is an artist whose work explores the correspondences between our internal landscape—the psyche—and the material world, using the creative process, metaphor and symbolism as bridges. She is interested in an active, embodied participation in this exchange, through ritual and practice.

Regan explores mysticim, surrender and the interchange between human will, the unconscious and the natural world through an improvisational approach to the arts. She seeks to notice and embrace the cracks, windows and openings that reveal the usually unpredictable (and always divine) life force moving around and through us and our chosen instruments.

Her approach is both intuitive and meticulously structured, balancing the humor, reverence, absurdity and occasionally frequent chaos inherent in an honest engagement with life/creative forces and the unconscious.  Her sessions and workshops invite inquiry, reflection and embodied insight, welcoming the recognition that growth unfolds when we allow it, rather than when we (attempt to) control it.

Divinatory Poetics

‘Divinatory Poetics’ is my phrase for the way language emerges from the sensuous body, meaning-seeking mind and the landscape in which they are embedded – this is the crossroads where divinity sits.

I am interested in the relationship between cosmology and geography: what is built up and worn down organically over time and what moves beneath (and thus shapes) surfaces. Consideration of texture, saturation, contrast, depth and duration are key compositional considerations in all of my work.

For the purposes of good conversation, I curate atmospheric, loosely-ritualized, non-dogmatic, experimental environments in which people can be alone-together, immersed in imaginative play, where attuning to the natural environment, instinctual body, emotional weathers and the absurdity of it all is of central interest.
