The body of work presented in Hidden Entrance continues the artist’s long term exploration of secret structures, unseen truths, and manufactured illusions. Geary uses experimentation in medium and self imposed rules while creating the work as a means to question how our preconceived notions of reality block our ability to see what is possible. The psychonautic searching for resolve within his creative process draws parallels to larger questions, and Geary uses this process as a form of meditative exploration. 

How do our conceptions of the laws that dictate nature, and of beings that intentionally manipulate our reality displace our vision? What is hidden to us and how do we access a deeper understanding of our perception of our lived experience?

Mike's current body of work at Anchorlight, Hidden Entrance, is a collection of paintings and sculpture that continue his ongoing exploration of secret structures, unseen truths, and manufactured illusions.
