Fred Tomaselli’s saturated psychedelic images, made of hundreds of elements including hallucinogenic pills, flower buds, medicinal herbs, insects, photocollage, and paint, are meticulously layered and arranged in kaleidoscopic patterns that spiral across a shiny, resin coated surface. In his work, Tomaselli references healing and destruction, nature and culture, spirituality and consumerism, beauty and toxicity.
