Laurie and I recently conducted a rambling email conversation, which moves something like our dishwashing conversations - by tangent and whim - for the purpose of bringing radionics to the attention of open-minded artists. Grounded in a thorough history of the field, this book offers a blueprint for artists interested in connecting to subtle energy (also called Nature Intelligence), or for artists who have already been doing this, and who would value the clarity this book offers. Laurie’s new book The Secret Art: A Brief History of Radionic Technology for the Creative Individual is a visionary articulation - and call for further exploration - of the creative potential of radionics. I can’t tell you what I wished for, but so far, it’s coming true. This work invites guests to make a wish and then lie down on an elevated bed, engulfed in the amplified sound of a cat’s purr while activating intention to fulfill that wish. More recently, I participated in his interactive installation entitled Purr Generator, now on display at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. Over the years, I’ve watched him measure radionic responses from plants when he plays them Jazz in his state-of-the-art Dragonline Studio overlooking Jamestown Bay in Rhode Island.
Laurie has been exploring the link between radionics and art, specifically the potential to integrate it into an expansive creative process. There, scrubbing industrial pots with brillo pads in steaming hot water, he’s kept me updated on the progression of his art practice and his maverick experimentation with “radionics,” a controversial field dedicated to studying subtle energy (radiation) given off by matter, and the application of this energy, through directed intention, for the purpose of healing. We’re part of an artists’ retreat that meets every few years up in the mountains near Asheville, North Carolina, and our best conversations have taken place sharing a dishwashing shift in the industrial kitchen in the lodge of our site.
