this series of work is a preliminary set of charactor studies. / respect to the gifted few that so effortlessly say so much with the slightest of strokes. this is no.1 of 3.
i am part of all that i have met, / yet all experience is an arch wherethro / gleans that untravelled world, / whose margins fade / forever and forever when i move. / excerpt from ‘Ulysses’ – Lord Alfred Tennyson
i am the rising sun, the song of birds / and rustling trees welcoming the dawn. / i am new birth cries and the whisper / of heart’s secrets on the lips of soaring spirits. / i am the raising awareness / and careless knowledge of youth. / i am the first breath of life / and the last breath of life.
on the fading light of the dusk i shine. / i cannot be held and hold no shape. / you will know me by your heart / and i will reflect moonlight on ocean’s lap. / i will move you, flow between you / and wash you to earth with mysteries. / and you will ever know me by the western shore.
in the north, ever i walk searching. / i am all consuming passion and life. / fire in the belly, fire in the mind. / i bring colour to desert earth / and evolve in all things. / i am fear and burn in all that dream. / you will know me by my touch / and the mark i leave on your soul. / i am the fullness of summer’s joy / and the protecting love of the father.
‘once the metamorphosis is complete, it is only then then we will see the decent of our own species’.
a few years back, i had the pleasure of working for the state museum and while there found myself surrounded by a myriad of species, human and non-human. this hierarchic, governmental environment portrayed a microcosm of life at work amoungst the much larger natural world represented there in. a diarama of human relation, power and survival. ‘the account of decent from ancestors by the count of immediate pedigrees’.
...another study of nature and hierarchy.
...another study of nature and hierarchy.
... homage to a most strange and disconcerting genius.
...meditations in oil and steak.
