About

Bonechant Hymnal is a liminal space. A threshold. On one side, there is the mundane dominion of jobs, bills, and car repair; on the other side, the occult realm of the eerie, the weird, and the esoteric. They are both interconnected by the throughline of artistic vision.

Somewhere, a janitor dreams to be a poet. A computer programmer longs for her songs to be heard. A carpenter has a screenplay tucked safely in his toolbelt. Dissolving the divide between two worlds, lifting the veil between what is given and what is thought unattainable, is the role of any good portal.

And so, this space serves to trace a journey from occupational servitude to artistic embodiment, no matter the formal source of paycheck. Along the way, this will surely compel explorations on the architecture of human culture. An unavoidable consequence.

David Lynch spoke of the art life as one of catching ideas – finding them, staying true to them, and treating the work as a dream experiment rather than a job. This is an attempt to apply that goal of pursuing art no matter what is done for a living, exploring the margins of life for the idea-catching moments that feed the creative worldview.

If you recognize yourself in this, you're not just witness: you're kin.
