Spirit of Gold, States of Being

Spirit of Gold, States of Being

Medium: Acrylic, oil based ink, linen thread on canvas.
Size: 1220 mm x 1220 mm x 37 mm.
About: Acrylic and textured layers have been built up in a multiple page layout composition. This references back to a symbolic page format inspired from my ‘Book of Threads’ artist book.

All is the manifested evidence of my ongoing passionate spirit for exploration, play, textures and discovery of the subliminal and generating of self-enlightenment about the human condition.

For contrasting perceptions: there are several levels here
for example in relation to time, energies and colour – between the old (faded, worn down, past chapters – memories/knowledge, traces, remnants) and the new (current pages, chapters, fresh, bright, bold, strong); between the representation of spirit (gold/blue, channels/passage) and worldly matter (earthy, oxide colours, grids/boundaries).

• Symbolic/parallel meanings are explored through the multiple pages (time, chapters, traces), X’s (as is above, so is below, zero point, vortex, connections), multi-generational vessels (containment, alchemy, reflection, passing on of wisdom/knowledge), passage channels (transition, spirit, motion), stitched threads (attachment, fusion, parallels, spirit/matter, relationships, passage, traces), colours (emotional, spiritual/worldly, energies, alchemy) and the floating leaf (passage, transit, motion, carrier of thought/dreams).

• Work is from the solo exhibition Elevating the Spirit ... “where connections, relationships and unity are explored through visual language elements and symbology, between one’s inner-self (soul, spirit, life-force, essence), psyche and the outer world. Notions of passage, transition (change), duality, reflection, containment and synthesis (fusion) are contemplated and reflected upon.”
