Winter Rainforsted

WINTER RAINFOREST

Holy and silent
There is a stillness which withholds me
Raindrops trickling
Birds echoing their graceful song
Light grasping through the canopy, high and suspicious
Standing still, I am in rapture to feel is magnificence
I am hindered by the forests leafy flesh

Yet I am found rigid, I have not enabled myself to let go, to transpire within
As all those days devoted to the safe, but numbing road of a promised tomorrow
I have forgotten myself, I have abandoned my inner child
I don’t have the feeling I once had, gentle and kind
I have been made bitter and anguished through the regimented agenda of a material and consumerist culture
I have been conditioned, forced into the fabricated asylum of obliged order
What has gone wrong
I was promised an enduring life of opulence
Yet Sheltered from the tender journey within
The truth told by the stone faces, were false promises

I am no longer blind now
Old deceit has been torn down
Truth revealed, I have fallen into its hands
Swept by natures beauty
To part from the ‘old self’
I shall stay upon the course found with the most light

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".
