NEW WORK

This is more of a 'Stay Tuned' notice than a body of work - I have a number of paintings in process now, and it's taking some time because it's a pivot. 

​

Over the summer, I sustained an injury, a fractured shoulder.  This meant a pause of several months - from work, from painting or drawing.  This fallow period brought about a change in direction for many reasons, but mostly it brought me back to working with gilding again in my painting. This new series is partially figurative, lots of symbols, but it's employing gilding as well.

​

While I was recovering and my shoulder was in pain, I began to imagine that the bone was healing and repairing itself with gold, as in Kintsugi. This little visualisation and meditation became a profoundly helpful healing for me, and I began seeing all of me - my shoulder, my memories, my heart - mended with gold.

​

This new body of work I'm calling Golden Bones. It may change. It's about fractures and mending and symbols and dreams. And beauty. So please do stay tuned, I'm excited to get them 'born' and out into the ethers.
