There is an infinitesimally thin surface that separates two spaces; I love the idea of being in that threshold, perceiving the innate power of liminal space. This meditation drives my mind to break though finite limitations of perception. Utilizing a discovery based studio practice to mediate these ideas and visualizations, I merge my artistic themes with scientific research in such a way that both become more approachable for the viewing public.

About Me
- Nicholas Dertien
- Some people might believe that I’m an adrenaline junkie; this is not the case. I am in truth a very meditative person. In moments of deep and solitude reflection I come upon an energy that has such force that it overwhelms my senses. I feel it vibrate across my flesh and throb on my fingertips and the soles of my feet. These sensations (coming out of purposeful meditation) are very much my own. But as any passion, I have always strived to share them. I find that at the core of these meditations I’m forcing my mind to break though thresholds of perception, so I began to do actions that show my body breaking through thresholds in the physical world. My work becomes an opposition to meditation; my actions embody the energy of my personal reverie. In doing I find the “physical knowledge” and peak experiences that viewers can project themselves into. I am consistently challenging the limiting finite space of my body and its ability to filter the sensations of the world.
