I'm KALI, of Evertender Studios.
welcome to my dream, the ether realm... a liminal space, bound by the inbetween. here we are on the edge of the void, eyes open wide, waiting...
it is my wish that you find relief in these portals, for that is what they are for. as someone who is generally bedridden with chronic pain, I don't alway have the opportunity to connect with the external world. these photos are created when I am able, when the blessing of a psychedelic analgesic is flowing through my system... only then can I create my work. as time passes and I inevitably must return to my stasis, I am grateful for these images, because they are indicative of moments in which I was on the perimeter, absorbed in conjuring up the realms I love.
+ ABOUT ME +
I am a film photographer, writer, and painter living in Santa Barbara, California.
My work is a romanticization of my environment, and the many fascinating subjects that reside within and amongst it. I am a deeply spiritual person, and I believe in caring for our planet and the many beings that live here. As such, it is my hope that through viewing and enjoying my work, one may develop a deep appreciation and respect for this land and all it has been, and will hopefully continue to be.
I am disabled, "incurably" ill, and I live with chronic pain. Each day is a blessing and a curse, and it is with great effort that I strive to create the art that I feel so deeply called to make. I have lived many lives, and now I am enlivened by pain. It seeps into everything I do, and as there is no escape, I am resigned to capturing the beauty of it.
Thank you for taking the time to read and observe my art.
Your presence here is truly appreciated.
