The Unconscious

"Unconscious desire, self destruction and despair-the dark impulses that we suppress during our waking hours have long been an inspiration for artists and writers" Darian, sleep of reason. 

Scott Radke is an artist who likes to 'connect with his subconscious' when creating.  His sculptures are dark, mysterious and slightly disturbing.  He says of his own works that he tries not to convey his emotions or feelings into his works, he just takes his "doodles a little further."  Most artists tend to use what they know, or their life experiences to create their pieces of art, but I find it more interesting when we just use our imaginations to create new, wild and exciting pieces of work.  They don't have to make sense, or have a connection to anything.  Working with our subconscious is a great way to create unexpected art.
