PIVOTAL, big moments and little moments of clarity that provide us with new perspectives and opportunities for change.
Works in watercolour, gouache and graphite featuring the everyday, a feather, a bird’s nest, to the rare and uncommon, the tiny Tasmanian Red Handfish.
We take much for granted and in doing so, we devalue it. This response is not necessarily intentional, but life is busy, and there is an assumption, an acceptance what we view about us will always be there.
We live in pivotal times. Do we need to reconnect; do we need to find ‘enchantment’ in the simple and uncomplicated to rediscover balance? I think so.
As Author Katherine May writes in her latest publication ‘Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age’ – ‘Our sense of enchantment is not triggered only by grand things; the sublime is not hiding in distant landscapes. The awe-inspiring, the numinous, is all around us, all the time. It is transformed by our deliberate attention. It becomes valuable when we value it’.
