Sculpture
Since my son’s birth in 2013 I have been working as an artist mostly in the mediums of talisman making, sculpture and creating sacred objects.
My work is influenced by echoes of the past, inspired by archeological finds, dream symbolism, old stories and myths. It speaks my souls yearning to remember what was useful to us as evolving humans in our deep history, when culture was emerging - a time when moving with the seasons, working as a group, valuing our position in the group, acknowledging the phases of our lives, on our particular land, was valued and echoed in stories, rituals and art.
Our adornment was intentional - each element of a piece of jewellery made by hand. Our sacred objects were precious, carved with bone or antler tools over hours and hours. Our stories had deep wisdom - memorised and passed down through generation after generation.
We Made Sacred. We knew the qualities of honour, praise, acknowledgement, expression, ritualisation, trance and remembrance.
All of the pieces in these galleries are expressions of these memories buried deep in the akashic connection that all of our souls harbour. Many of them were commissioned by kind souls who trusted me to make talismans for them filled with the energy of this remembrance.
It has been my great joy to do this work, it has filled my life with a purpose aligned with my own creative flow. To know that these works are now nestled in with new bearers, who will tend to their little soul fires, just as i did in their creation, gives me peace and a heartfelt feeling of wholeness.
As i move now into menopause a new phase of creative expression is coming forth...
Being creative is an act of communion.
Oak gall, seed heads and cotton - In praise of the beloved Holloway beside my home.
The new phase...
This part of the site is still under construction as I work with the new flow of my creativity. For now please enjoy these examples of the direction my playful, intuitive, creative instincts are flowing...
These works reflect me back to myself, giving me a mirror to witness my new direction as it unfolds in connection to nature and my own inner voice.
Previously i made art, from my own interest, from my own sacredly held space, but essentially for others, as guides and touchstones born from my muses motivation to help others through me - my work was mostly passed on to others.
Now my work is moving into a more personally expressive stage, it is reflective and therapeutic in nature and always seeking to have less and less impact on the planet. It will not be passed on as an object, but present as, not only my expression, but as invitations to you to find ways to ritualise and express what sits in your soul, reaching out of the silent inner world, aching to be out in the light.
My invitation is extended through workshops and creativity circles, learn more here.
