Description
Work from the series “Elementa”
In addition to the classical elements, earth, water, fire, air and gas (space), in many ancient eastern concepts of self there are an additional two: consciousness (thought itself) and the element of spirit. Each of us is comprised of all seven elements. Further to this, since ancient times, philosophers have suggested that love is an elemental force of nature, like gravity or electromagnetism. The power that drives the stars, they say, is the same force that compels the human heart.
Exploring these concepts the Artist continues to utilise colour, light, scale, space, texture and emotion to sustain her practice.
A beautiful hole in my heart, borrows its title from part of a line from the song, My very best, from the Album Leaders of the free world by Elbow, released in September 2005.
The Artist identifies with this notion of loss of someone dear, and often employs the negative space in her abstract landscapes to signify this, but also to signify her eternal (antidotal) quest in her work for order over chaos, based on her childhood experiences.
The painting is strung ready to hang.
