 Knowing Stillness Oil On linen 85 x 160 cm 2011
In recent weeks my BLOG has been attracting larger numbers of visitors [up to 100 per day!], which is great. Many thanks to all of you who have dropped by. I was quite excited to read on my STATS page today, a number of search phrases and words which have brought visitors here. They include:
So, the painting above is one of my multiverse paintings. Knowing Stillness invites you to consider, in stillness, the possibility that we are not part of a universe, but a multiverse. I say, in stillness, because stillness provides the space/place where possibilities, that perhaps have not been considered, can be seen, heard and felt. Stillness...almost...replicates that dimension just preceeding the Big Bang, when space, distance and time did not exist, but potential was potent.
In Stillness sees a multitude of my much loved transcultural/religious trees-of-life form into one entity...a planet, a universe, a nano particle? Beyond this entity is a space shimmering with small circles of white dots. For me, these are the portals to other universes, keeping in mind, that the universe/multiverse, as a metaphor, can mean these portals could be conduits into the realms of human psyche.
Meeting Place Of The Mind Oil on linen 100 x 70 cm 2011
The painting above again gives my tree-of-life some cosmic rendering! This is a paragraph from my previous BLOG post for this painting.
The image is a man and woman, who seem to morph into one being. There outstretched arms reach forward erupting into cascading trees. The vortex/spiral enclosing the figures is like a spring of energy, suggesting that the man and woman, who are at the centre of this energy are... conduits, the core, the essential element, the stillness that is replete. The moon, in its phases, represents time and the energy of push and pull, an innate balance.
I've uploaded this painting on this post because it is one of my newest, plus if you put on a pair of 3d glasses the painting goes totally 3d! This actually happens with quite a few of my paintings. I had no idea they did this amazing 3d layering until a man brought a pair of 3d glasses into my exhibition Frisson in 2010.
