METANOIA: Papers Toward a Radical Metaphysics

To think otherwise: not refined, but rearranged.
Like Blake’s vision, like a hymn in the desert wind.

METANOIA is a fever dream at the seat of the soul—
a think tank where imagination rests and rages,
where culture is shocked into new form,
where the work itself becomes transformation.

Father Agency,
Spring / Summer 2025

With every new collection, we have presented a new entity. It is as if a new brand, with a new language and a new statement has been engendered. For Rivington, ‘father agency’ became not only a new branding expression, but the philosophy of creation distilled in tangible form. Father, as the creator of culture.
I wanted to explore ‘agency’. The sense of control one might feel over one’s own life. The extent and capacity to influence our own thoughts and behaviors.

Most of my collections, as well as art produced surrounding a given collection has served me as something akin to a vehicle of exploration into what is called ‘gnosis’. We, human beings, the species that create and destroy, the ruling species, the ones that have taken command and to whom the god of genesis gave dominion over the land and sea, is the same species that has taken such dominion as a deflecting mechanism, never to have to face the fact that he has no dominion over his own self.

This collection is a direct message from the heir. Inside of this collection we will find motifs, symbols and messages that call for a new wave. A new way of thinking, all of the while utilizing very old logos and symbols. What started in a garden and ended in a city is a story of great psychological importance.
