40 x 31 cm
Over the last 25 years, Whittlesea has produced a body of artworks and books that have been collectively described as 'instruction manuals for transcendental exercise'. This area of the artist's practice draws on the intertwined histories of modernism and mysticism, particularly the esoteric traditions that believe revelation comes from control of breath and body.
Drawings from The Rosicrucian Papers of Sissarrad G. Balyan is a series of anonymous works on paper, selected and mounted by Ian Whittlesea. They are part of a large collection of material resulting from one man’s study with the AMORC Rosicrucians of California in the 1950s.
