Work in Progress
This piece is about connecting through difference. Recognising our different natures in relationships can be very helpful and challenging in equal parts. Sometimes we don't have the words or don't understand one another, but still we try, and still we care and love and connect.
Give and take
I've been transitioning in a big way in my practice, and this is my largest piece to date using some of my handmade mineral pigment oil paints. It is imperfect but I'm happy to leave it there The background is made with some oil pastels I didn't make, but an important part of the transition to using totally natural materials. It feels like an awakening in many senses, for my practice, for the deepened connection with the earth, and the abundance we see depicted in the painting itself.
