Breaking Open the Heart — Giving and Receiving (838mm x 590mm)
Materials:
Stone, earth, coloured pencil on paper.
Description:
I liked the idea of stretching and expanding causing the in/break. I dipped two large stones in compost made from rotted leaves and physically pulled them apart on the paper. I used stones because they feel like ancestors and the past. A space appeared in the middle for the light to come through. In one of my sketches I saw a horizontal opening emerging and it began to look like a cross. I started drawing pink at the intersection and realised it was the heart, giving and receiving. The surface drawing is the external and the ego.
Bio:
I attended the Wimbledon College of Art Foundation course and am a graduate of Canterbury College of Art, Fine Arts. I draw and paint from a place of not knowing. It’s instinctive. I find inspiration from nature, especially trees and the earth. When I draw, immediacy, aliveness, rhythm and feeling is what interests me. I like working collaboratively and realise the amazing possibilities when tapping into group energy with like minded artists. I have been part of and exhibited with the Transept group since 2019.
