HELLO.

I’M NEEFF!

I AM A:  FACILITATOR. PAINTER. SCULPTOR. FORTUNE-TELLER. PERFORMER. CONSULTANT. DESIGNER. MYSTIC. MUSICIAN. AND OCCASIONAL PLAYWRIGHT.

ALTHOUGH MY SKILL SET  IS WIDE, MY WORK FOLLOWS AN INTERSECTION BETWEEN CREATING IMAGES, OBJECTS, AND SITUATIONS THAT ALLOW FOR PLAY, EXPANSION, AND GUIDANCE THROUGH INTERACTION.  I OFTEN LEAD LARGE GROUPS AND FACILITATE EXPERIMENTAL ART IN PUBLIC SPACES.

IN 2023, AFTER 3 YEARS OF RESEARCH OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT I SUCCESSFULLY FUNDED THE MASS PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE ORACLE WITH THE HELP OF 462 PEOPLE THROUGH KICKSTARTER.  COMPRISED OF A 156 ILLUSTRATIONS ACCOMPANIED BY A 126 PAGE BOOK, THE MERCURY ORALCE IS A CROSS BETWEEN A MARAUDER’S MAP, BRIAN ENO’S OBLIQUE STRATEGIES, AND MODERN BOARD GAMES.  I BELIEVE IT IS A NEW STANDARD IN ORACLE DIVINATION.

A CORE THEME IN MY WORK IS MERCURIANISM: THINGS THAT NEVER OCCUPY THE SAME FORM.  IN MY PUZZLE PAINTINGS, HUNDREDS OF CUBES MAKE THE SURFACE OF A PAINTING, THESE CUBES CAN BE TURNED, REARRANGED, REMOVED, OR EVEN SOLVED.  WITHIN A SINGLE PAINTING 6-9 SOLVABLE PAINTINGS ARE CONTAINED WITHIN, BUT THE WORK ITSELF ASKS THE VIEWER TO CONSTRUCT THEIR OWN PAINTING.
