Through painting as ceremony, as a meeting place, as a healing space – entering into the unknown with a Galactic perspective – Galaxies within galaxies, the atom, the cell. To remember earth is suspended in space, and super massive black holes are at the centre, pulling matter into space so dense that it almost rips the fabric of nothingness.
That we exist in vast realms.
In the great mess and chaos, most ‘things’ are themselves, without question, there’s no need to flatten complexity or subvert simplicity. There is a joy of beingness, of being here, belonging here, a part of the all-ness. And there’s an intimacy of touching – each particle of matter with space.
Light worlds married to dark matter …
Painting is this incredibly intimate process, of unknowing and participating, of matter mattering itself. These paintings will travel, explore, expand, widen – they will be expressions of living compositions of intra-actions, of bodies, communions, place, hereness – a reaching out and becoming – a weaving into the we-space. They will be emergent rivers of movement that gently carry fragments back into the fold. They will be a ‘getting lost’, a ‘reorganisation’, a way to ‘enter’.
These paintings may be worn by different bodies, my body – to become animated in a ceremonial performance. They may give birth to Others, like clay shapes, or video footage. They offer a space to digest, to unfold, to be here.
I am interested in creating benevolent and immersive atmospheres for an audience, where space is offered to feel – what needs to be felt – whether it’s all the tears of I, and you and US or to give praise. I can imagine exhibiting in galleries and in other spaces – specifically outdoors.
