A lightness of touch as essence comes into being

Reflections on Art and Process

A Lightness of touch as Essence comes into Being 


The ‘states of being’ landscapes have now developed to be open,

suspended, 

emerging through and dissolving into space, 

as my state of being has evolved to an open state of presence.

 

Existent in the ephemeral and the timeless,

the lines and shapes surface on the canvas of existence, as does the moment in presence.

With alert attention and awareness yet an allowance

and ease of being and letting occurrence itself take place,

of that what wants to be lived.


Near to a detachment from perfection,

for the magical, the creation of energy, to occur

as the vehicle, 

to shape that what source, 

with curiosity draws out to be. 

In the moment of its initiation, arresting, nascite, birth to become to be

in the existence of reality. 

 

A lightness of touch as essence comes into being. 

—-

Structure is often more important to me than accuracy to colour

Yet careful selection of colours to create affinity to elements of nature.

 

Disruptions need to occur for new images to surface, 

to realise themselves through the departure from the familiar. 

To shape and form, like a becoming of observed elements and occurrences in nature.
