Exhibiting artist Richard Proffitt will be joined in conversation by art curator, historian, and writer, Pádraic E. Moore to discuss, From a Cosmic Drift Through Higher Prairie, his current exhibition at The Dock, on August 12 at 2pm.

Richard's current exhibition, From a Cosmic Drift Through Higher Prairie, is an otherworldly, intimate, and immersive experience amidst the ghostly debris of psychedelia and alternative spiritualism.

Pádraic, in his essay Psychedelic Suburban Esotericism in response to Richard's work, said: "Richard Proffitt's work is representative of the major resurgence of interest amongst contemporary artists in visionary experiences, sympathetic magic and the occult.

"One might situate Proffitt's work as part of the same tradition as Austin Osman Spare or Joseph Beuys in which a crossover between the roles of cultural producer and shaman is central to one's position."
