85 / Visionary States / Chris Isner

Chris Isner is a visionary artist that primarily works with recovered portions of wood, and produces memorizing iterations of form. The story of how he learned to work with wood in this way, to produce incredibly unique works of art, came about when years ago he reached a low-point in his life. Due to a series of coincidences, Chris made his way to Peru and engaged in a shamanic ritual involving the powerful psychedelic brew ayahuasca, which he claims not only healed his physical ailments, but also healed him psychically as well, and revealed to him the knowledge he now uses to produce his art. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/chris-isner // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
