Mixed Media on Paper (Approx 82×52cm) Not sure – think I need to do a few finishing touches on the original but I am very happy with the way this photographed.
“Psyche” self portrait, from the Black Butterfly series. Oct 1, 2008, charcoal/pastel on mylar with under-drawing on grey pastel paper 26×22” Mounted in a vintage frame. The drafting film is translucent, so I have used a moonstone Canson pastel paper under the film for color. I work on the frosted side of the paper for tooth. The mylar lends a lovely soft effect, beautiful for rendering the translucence of skin. It is a tricky surface to work on, just a flick of the finger brings you back to the clean surface. I load my fingers with charcoal to get the soft gradations of tone. The myths of the Greek goddess Psyche exemplify a woman’s search for authentic personal growth, a reminder that the integration of our experiences, however sad or frightening they may be, matures and transforms us, like the symbol of the butterfly emerging into the light from its dark cocoon. The butterfly in the drawing is from the reference photo I captured in Ireland – the Irish peacock butterfly. Psyche is a personification of the soul and was represented in ancient Greek mythology as a butterfly. The lily is my business logo symbol – for peace and annunciation. It also was inspired in this scale by Georgia O’Keefe’s flower paintings and their feminine connotations.

Time heals all wounds. Time flies when you’re having fun. Time stands still. Time waits for no one. If I could turn back the hands of Time. Frozen in Time. Timeless…. you get the idea. Well, I wanted to create a series that perhaps captured the essence of these things, in relation to human emotion. And so my Time series was born. I know in my heart what each of them means, but I did not name them anything specific, so that the viewer could make up their own mind as to the meaning of each piece. I think that is something unique to every individual. So…my heartfelt thanks for continuing to watch and support my artistic endeavors. It feeds the fire that burns and inspires. / Aimee
Inspired By A Street’s Past: “Bold Street: The Monocle Of Time” was inspired by the time anomalies that have occurred on this busy Liverpool Street. In recent years, Bold Street has gained an eerie reputation as the location of many alleged time-slip occurrences where people have claimed to travel briefly back in time to Bold Street as it was in the 1950s and 1960s. One of the most graphic of paranormal Bold Street happenings was witnessed during day-time by a dozen people in the former Cornet store, now Edward’s wine bar. On this occasion a noisy vintage cab was heard rattling over cobbles, the horse snorting as it pulled up outside the shop. Surprised onlookers saw two well-dressed Victorian gentlemen alight from the cab, heard the door slam shut and then walk through the store, deep in conversation, only to disappear at the back. The witnesses assumed this to be a period film shoot, but on looking out of the window the cab had silently vanished just as the two Victorian gents. This report is far from unusual, Steve Parsons, of Para.Science, a Wirral-based ground said “We are inundated with accounts, about 100 in two years, The universal constant is that it’s a time-related event, It’s always back in time, either minutes or decades”. Ann Winsper, Para.Science’s psychology expert, says “Psychologists might say this is a form of mass hysteria, but a lot of people are separately reporting the phenomena and describing interaction with figures from the past who are surprised to see people in modern dress”. Steve Parsons added: “We’ve been able to check accounts such as researching which businesses were here. There are bizarre accounts such as people who see themselves, or brothers and mothers walking past while these people are definitely elsewhere. By using old street directories we can pin-point the period in question to a couple of months. There is nothing to be gained by these people except losing their credibility in describing these matters”. The sheer number of cases make Bold Street one of the most important centres of paranormal activity in Britain.
