Artwork Description

TOBACCO

Broad leaves
Lush and wide
Pink flowers rise
Tying its knot
It’s ready to smoke!
But firstly, it needs to be fermented
And kept scented
To its native brown
For my palette
I desire it
Clipped
And shredded thin
Strung
And rolled
Burnt
And smoked
Held
And untold
It’s to slow my discourse
And to look to the world with quiet eyes
A Crisp burn
And a Gentle inhale
Fill the breathing lungs
A Moment of influenced breath
Its mild touch
Slows my pace
To ponder upon new thought
Taking me nowhere
But to the now

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".
