Artwork Description

LOOSE STRINGS WITHIN

Confusion and doubt lie within
Hindered by the past
Clinging to disguised illusions
I am broken within, as I loathe the road ahead
I am descending into a lake of muddy water
Will I drown in its shallow waters
Oh, where is there mercy to be found
Calling upon the grace of god, as I tremble down
Promised; the meek will inherit the earth
Have I been given a false promise
Or am I too blind to see the truth
I have no more wishes to grasp for
I am done with the eternal voyage
I shall reside into nothingness
But yet nature besets me with her quiet whisper
Forget yesterday and live upon the miracle of now
I must be silent to listen to her

I am found to be still
Aware of my breath, the body which cradles the soul
I am struck by the benevolence of Natures offerings
As grapes dangle down from the vine, offering their sweetness
Glancing at the blades of the grass meadows, gleaming as they wattle in the wind
The sweet fragrance of the frangipani flowers with their ornate rich colour
How have I forgotten the miracle and wonder of ‘being’
Life has been kind, it is I who has been the fool
Instead I chose to follow a rational pursuit, instead of the seed I inherited, and forgot to reap
For too long I have neglected to trust and rest in the bosom of life longing for itself
A new tide has come upon me, I am born again

Artist Bio

I am an Australian born artist who has been developing a style that is vital to my aim of expressing the Human condition. My art is derived from ‘my story’, I draw my inspiration from real experiences. I believe all artistic vision is inherently from a source that can only be considered as divine. I draw from my own personal experiences, all that I witness within the boundaries of my life, from all that I have felt internally.

“I understood more, when I felt more”

I approach my work with a conceived idea or an elusive image. At first a set style or attitude is taken on as an expressive outlet, and then eventually I become stimulated before the work takes a life of its own through an emotional outlet during the creation of the work. I become captivated by the works progressive development, encouraging what works to hold or to expose a subconscious truth and beauty, creating a life of its own.

"There is no single truth in Art, everyone holds their own truth which they have reaped through the life they have endured".
