The correspondence between planetary influences and the spirits of the earth metals leads me to forage for rocks and clay in sacred landscapes to extract the colour for my paints. These breathe life into my paintings and infuse them with a richness that goes beyond the visual, resonating with the essence of the spirit of the earth.
I sway between painting and moulding clay into sculptures, shaping tangible expressions of intangible emotions and ideas. Each piece is a conversation with the material, a dance of my hands manifesting. My work seeks to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the traditions that have shaped us, reminding us of the value of preserving our heritage and planet. Yet, it also calls uponus to adapt and innovate and to experience the sacred.
My creative journey is guided by a deep longing for harmony as I seek to capture the elusive qualities that transcend the visible; inviting viewers to perceive the subtle energies within my work and encourage contemplation within the space and what arises within them. I incorporate the use of symbolism and sacred geometry, offering a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.
Led by the feminine divine, ancient mysteries and indigenous cultures, the abundance of nature and the creative union between heaven and earth, the hidden treasures of the earth, and how the stars of the heavens are locked deep in the rocks of the earth.
An extract from Carl Jung’s book “Psychology and Alchemy”, paraphrases the 15th century alchemist Basileus Valentiusreads:
“The Earth (as prima materia) is not a dead body but inhabited by a spirit that is its life and soul. All created things, minerals included, draw their strength from the earth-spirit. The spirit is life, it is nourished by the stars and gives nourishment to all living things it shelters in its womb.”
