Stuart Holland is a visual artist living and working in Boise, Idaho. He is a graduate of Boise State<br />

University and earned his BFA with an emphasis in printmaking in 2014. Drawing influence from psychology,<br />

various spiritual traditions, psychedelics, and quantum physics, Stuart’s work is the realization of an enigmatic<br />

liminal realm.<br />

Within this enigmatic plane, Stuart’s work explores the concepts of Self, consciousness, and the ultimate<br />

nature of Reality. Riddled with vast landscapes, monolithic architecture, and thought provoking voids, it is often<br />

difficult to discern if these environments exist in the physical realm, are mental fabrication, alternate realities, or<br />

are glimpses into a higher dimension of consciousness. It is within in this liminal ambiguity where Stuart’s work<br />

invites viewers to delve into the contemplation of “What truly is?” and “What could be?”<br />
