Visionary & Psychedelic Intermedia Artist

A term coined by Fluxus in the 1960s, Intermedia art refers to creative work that blends, overlaps, or exists in the spaces between established art forms. Rather than focusing on a single medium like drawing, digital art, artucation, voice work, electronic music, documentary, video, or writing, my practice seeks to fuse these modes of expression into one unified whole. I favor process over product, exploring how creation itself becomes a portrait of experience, and how many arts can be faceted into a holistic, unified field. The result is a constantly genre-defying hybrid that gives rise to new and original models. One of my most important media is context itself — integrating environment, audience, and social conditions as living elements of the artwork. As an artist, my main inspiration has come from the visionary & psychedelic art scene, and although these words describe my art well, I found that intermedia was the most defining term.

Musical Album

YES is an original acoustic solo album by Ba Adonai, released under the pseudonym LYONESS. Written between 1999–2000 for live performance and recorded in 2012, the songs trace a journey from my early days on an organic farm in Ontario, through psychedelic musical community in the UK with Andrew Stout while on tour with the band iFly, to the mystical heart of Glastonbury’s jam scene and my continual musical busking ally Green. Each track carries prophetic and spiritual undertones — from Montana’s Song, honoring the woman who first inspired my path as an ecologist, to River You Flow, written the day before my first Ayahuasca ceremony, and Avalon Rise, echoing the ancient and mystical visionary spirit of Avalon. The album reflects a fusion of personal history, plant-medicine initiation, and underground cult anthems, with album art by Paris Hilton — a symbolic figure woven into my Ayahuasca visions of 2012.
