"I've spent the past 20 or so years going out of my body to try and recreate what I've seen in hyperspace - these impossible rooms filled with living things."

"Sleepr", is the pseudonym for the ultracontemporary artist whose artworks intersect between expression and documentation of the inner world. Having spent most of his life in the academic world as a researcher and lecturer, his body of work is focused on trying to document artifacts that are visionary, or "post-imagination", venturing into a steep reality few have seen. The works remind us that there is more Mystery than we can suppose, surrounding us at all times.

Over the past few years, he has begun to attract international recognition, with a sold out show in London, an artist residency at Art Basel Miami, exhibitions in New York, and fieldwork in the Amazon jungle, Peru, learning with Shipibo shamans taking ayahuasca.
