As my style grows increasingly geometric and complex, I wanted take a step back to explore a design with greater spaciousness and simplicity. So, this piece is the result. Still holding a mandala-like structure, it holds the intention of psychic wholeness and balance.
I find shamanic-dreamtime imagery bubbling up from within me, perhaps from some memory from a time long ago, of beings merged with trees and landscapes, symbolizing our oneness with the whole of creation.
My work speaks to me as if it has a soul of its own. It helps me to unlock corridors within the depths of my primordial unconscious, revealing messages from the worlds between. I am becoming increasingly aware of the fact that my work is attempting to communicate our connection to the rest of life. It wants to help remove the veil that humanity has placed over its eyes, that we may deepen in our knowing that everything is imbued with consciousness. We have the ability to communicate with the plants, rocks, the wind and the waters on deep intuitive levels. We share an intelligence with that which organizes galaxies into expression.
When we connect to this deep inner knowing, we unlock codes within our own being, accessing dormant recesses of creativity as we become flooded with a knowing beyond knowing. We become utilized as an instrument in the arms of the Creator.
I feel my work wanting to be a voice for the voiceless. A voice for those that speak to us from within the depths of our ancestral memory. A voice for the forests, the trees, the earth, and the stars, and a voice for the knowing of the soul. A voice for what has been long silenced and suppressed. A voice for our memory of Home, which dwells in that sanctuary of inner peace when we recognize ourselves in another.
My intention is to create work that sparks and nourishes our innermost knowing, that it is not just some dimmed and dormant memory, but something we consciously carry with us into the forefront of our lives.
