Of Two Minds
original painting
acrylic, pencil and pastel on stretched canvas
76 x 102 cm
$1,950
It’s the this and then that, the back and forth and roundabout of it. It’s the shaping and reshaping and the digging up and seeing what we can make of it. It’s the pulling it apart and testing how it works and putting it back together again. Of Two Minds tells the story of difference and collaboration and of how we make sense of the world through and with another.
Of Two Minds is available to purchase from Revival Art and Design Gallery. Please contact the gallery to enquire.
Sojourner
original painting
acrylic, pencil and pastel on stretched canvas
122 x 182 cm
$4,700
Sojourner comes in response to the change of season. The canvas holds space for all four times of the year. Can you pick who is who?
One leaps skyward, trusting herself to the open air; one a giver of light, a totem radiating directness and self-assurance; one releases, gently falling and letting go; and one reclines in repose, making time for restoration and renewal.
The seasons are so integral to our time here on earth, and as I sit and wonder, I see them beautifully rendered and reflected in the human experience also.
Times of recklessness and abandon - of hurdling toward the new. Times of bright light and confidence - of strength and sunshine. Times of letting go - of releasing or tumbling and falling. Times of wintering and retiring - of repairing and healing.
What a poignant, complementary and full way of cycling through life.
Sojourner is available to purchase from Revival Art and Design Gallery. Please contact the gallery to enquire.

Nellie
acrylic, pencil and pastel on stretched canvas

there I am
here we are
in the overgrown
in the undergrowth
in the bearing up
and bearing down
and holding on
and holding out
with shoulders to shelve
and carry
and cast off
and shrug low and sigh high
with shoulders that shake
and shimmy
and exhale release
and inhale to rise
with shoulders to bolster
and pockets to holster
a patchwork of heartwork
our life bind
our time
Nellie is available to purchase from Revival Art and Design Gallery. Please contact the gallery to enquire.

I've been thinking about the things that give our insides form and our outsides feather - the things we fill ourselves with, surround ourselves with, give our time to, our mind to, our heart to. The ideas and identities that we've nestled into - the ones that make us feel safe, the ones that keep us hidden, the ones that make us brave, the ones that reveal what we're made of. All of those things tell of our stuff, our staple - our substance.
