is a two person co-operative project based in West Cork and Kerry respectively.
The
blog is updated with new posts each month continuously since January
2012.
The
material consists of an informal presentation of my artwork and
painting in progress, photography, writing, and music. With the
help of my friend in Kerry and his computer skills, and aesthetic
appreciation of layout and colour especially, which is a main feature
of the blog. The text is colour coded in harmony with the
content.
The
purpose is to share the process of artistic creation as it happens,
and to make it accessible to anyone who may need guidance or
encouragement. To inspire and to share intimately the nature of
inspiration, and the importance of imaginative vision as being a
natural aspect of daily life.
The
style and subject matter of the written articles come from the same
source as the artwork, therefore not separate. All-inclusive
wholeness being the nature of a creatively focussed life, expressed
personally and playfully, coming from a whole lifetime in art.
Since
there are no separate subjects and all is interconnected, inspiration
to create can come from any area of life, depending on the current
mode of focus, the seasons, or whatever i happen to be thinking
about. The blogposts follow the changes in the cycle of
seasons, like a nature journal.
The
intent is something other than art as crafted commercial objects.
Educational in that i wish to stimulate and encourage people to
evolve imaginatively, true to their own vision of a more harmonious
world.
So
the work as a whole encompasses insights of spiritual experience, in
its broadest, non-denominational sense. Specifically to nurture
a sense of wonder, a refined sensitivity to the beauty of nature and
beyond the limitations of popular sentiment.
Also
in that sense therapeutic, to celebrate the actual poetic experience
of nature in all its smallest details, and deconstruct the consensus
notion that anything is commonplace or ordinary.
Basically
to affirm creativity as being a benevolent and healing force.
As well as an essential faculty for continuity of re-enchantment,
reawakening the magic of innocent experience we may remember from
childhood.
A
simple sense of wonder and curiosity as an antidote to all forms of
indoctrination to the contrary. To counter the influence of a
world in turbulent transition, filled with fearful stories presented
as news.
Giving
back to society all that has served and guided me well, in service to
others. By always nurturing and doing what i love most and
learning to discern what exactly it consists of. Nurturing and
evolving it, not letting what comes naturally go to waste.
Thereby maturing to a vision of positive affirmation which wishes to
share itself. While learning and refining in the process of
doing so.
Also
learning about language, and how to communicate in ways that will be
received on many levels. It is about communication.
Consequently i am more comfortable writing in a spontaneously
invented poetic prose. Though meticulously edited and revised,
it brings colour and vivid images back into language. It has
been said that i write like a painter, which is true, evoking images
and feeling.
Typically,
i never know what i may create next, hopefully something new, but if
it brings enchantment, then i'm happy to have a channel by which to
contribute to the larger re-enchantment. There's a labour of
love in the archives.
