Life & Work with V.g. Creux of Atlanta

Today we’d like to introduce you to V.g. Creux.

Hi V.g., please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
For many years after college, I worked as a journalist and investigator– chasing down raw facts, and fighting for justice inside a system that does not honor the full human sensory experience. The supernatural and quantum aspects of life intrigued me and there was not a space for these facets in my reporting. So I made a bet with myself that truth could be found in more than just what meets the eye and quit the private sector to practice art, poetry, and become a reality stylist, using the same instincts as investigation, but pointed at a different kind of evidence. These days, that means reporting on Substack and building work and community here in the city. I am always looking to connect with people thinking about art, story, and truth-telling in unconventional ways.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Honestly, the hardest part hasn’t been the leap itself, it’s being understood. When I talk about timeline jumping, or dimensions outside of this realm, I’ve had people tell me I need to “dumb it down.” And I get it— these aren’t small talk concepts. But the right people get it immediately, and that’s who I’m building for! Grounding myself has come from a mix of things: my faith, which keeps me anchored to something bigger than logic can explain and provides me with an ongoing peace that truly surpasses my understanding; nature, which keeps me grounded and honest about what’s real; and training as a certified energy medicine practitioner, which has given me a framework for the work I was already sensing intuitively. It’s a strange combination on paper, investigator, artist, energy practitioner, but it’s all the same instinct pointed in different directions. The real struggle now is that the sector I’m craving barely exists here in the city yet. It does exist! Just quietly, in pockets. So, part of why I’m doing this interview is to help pull it into the light.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
My work lives at the intersection of poetry, art, and time. Through analysis, writing, and 3D installations, often built with unconventional mediums like (ethically collected) animal bones or vintage tchotchkes, I help people connect to their past and future selves, and find their way back into a more present, embodied version of themselves right now. I self-published my own poetry book called Poems You Will Never Read, and I write a weekly Substack called Synching Source, which explores metaphysical and scientific concepts like time-keeping and quantum entanglement. Showing how the physics of time actually shapes individual experience, not just as a concept, but as something you can feel. What I’m most proud of is that all of it comes from the same place: a belief that everything is connected, and that art can make people feel that connection in their body, not just understand it in their head. What sets me apart is probably that I don’t separate the mystical from the rigorous. I bring the same instinct I had as an investigator into every article, every poem, and every installation. I’m still collecting evidence of something bigger— I just collect it differently now, treating the unseen parts of this world as a valid, yet different, node of applicable evidence.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
Oooh, yes to learn to trust your gut. My intuitive instinct has never once led me astray— every time I’ve run into real turbulence, it’s been because fear was steering, dressed up as logic. Learning to actually build a relationship with that inner knowing, instead of just hearing it, has changed everything. This is the practice of discernment. And you don’t have to abandon one identity to build another. I used to think becoming an artist meant leaving the investigator behind. It doesn’t! Those identities can merge, collide, and work together. This collision is where I have found joy, even in the most mundane parts of life. Also the intentional-actionary act of feeling and having gratitude which opens the door to the spiritual aspects of life with great meaning. My continued gratitude, even for the tough parts of life, is the practice that ties it all together for me. That’s the doorway to the joyful side of all this.
