This new work was first exhibited in solo exhibition Elevating the Spirit, held at Cairns Regional Gallery 2007. Toured to Sugarama Gallery (Mourilyan) 2007 and then 2009 to Umbrella Studio (selected), Townsville.
Abstract symbols portrayed:
- upright/upside-down vessels, for containment, alchemy
- a superimposed collaged grid layer of squares, made up of personal fabric remnants with inlaid diagonal leaf and abstract vessel shapes for transitional states;
- large X’s (X = As is above, so is below; bonding/attachment) are stitched in a spirit channel/passage line;
- linear boundaries, primal colours and contrasting tones define dualities;
- parallel lines create spatial depth, layers, veils of 3D illusions and hidden/secret passages/realms;
- title/numbers also reference hidden symbology.

Very nice; I like the impression of the overlaying. I tried to someting like that with watercolour in my Nature’s Moments though in my case it’s really just a framing devise while here it’s kinda got a cool surreal effect.
Stunning! Beautiful colours, tone, texture and composition… love it.
Katie, love that you love it. Thanks.
