Elevating the Spirit by Kerryn Madsen-Pietsch*
- ...“We are of the same divine essence that connects us all to the source of the spirit, one God, one source, many different manifestations.” …“Vedic tradition divides the world into reality, which is formed of spirit, and illusion composed of transient forces and events. The task set is for every person to pierce the veil of illusion in order to discover the spirit in everything”… “Reality is a mirror of the soul.” (Deepak Chopra, ‘The Path to Love’) ... “The world is full of resonance’s. It constitutes a cosmos of things exerting a spiritual action. The dead matter is a living spirit.” (Wassily Kandinsky from Article ‘On the question of the form’)
- In Elevating the Spirit 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. ... read the full article here

Thanks Jenny.
AlteredIllusions
Fascinating piece! Love your treatment – especially the hand stitching!
Kerryn Madsen... replied
Hi alteredillusions, thanks for your comment. I use the stitching in several ways, to portray meaning and interpretation on several levels – ie. as the practical and/or implied binding/joining medium tool, as a ‘markmaking/drawing’ tool to imply energies through direction, movement etc. and then there is the symbolism of eg. threads and X’s.

(Catching up here belatedly) Anna – thankyou so much. Now wondering how to make your wish come true :-) XXX
Gudrun Eckleben
Lovely!! :-)
Kerryn Madsen... replied
Thanks Gudrun. It was indeed a challenge working on a stretched canvas for the lino print technique and then the mixed mediums – I perservered, kept adding layers until satisfied with the outcome.
