Art is the language of my soul, the expression of an image that is created within me. Where is it coming from?

from resonances with my surroundings, Cornish nature, connections to places where I called home, Polar Norway, Berlin, Munich or places I visited, Japan, America, New Zealand, Iceland, Egypt, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Ireland, Scotland, … Nature, wild, untamed, … transferred into impressions, fragments, symbols, light, …  from resonances with souls that speak to me from the past through their writings, about Philosophy, Psychology, Healing, History, Culture, Politics, Physics, Art, … and fellow souls that are dear to me, creatives, artists, writers, musicians, dancers, healers, friends, …

life, movement, stories, destinies, …  transferred into bodies, words, poems, … from resonances with my inner self, through exercising non-violent-communication and identity oriented psycho-trauma therapy, I open the door to my inner conflicts, reclaim my identity and become whole once again, … emotions, feelings, needs, … transferred into lines, shapes, colours, materials, … materials that have different qualities in my work

glass is translucent, light, colour, fragile, connected to the sand and the sea

silk is soft, gentle, shimmering, female, threads spun by nature

wood is strong and warm, engulfing, supporting, structural and renewing

metal is hard, cold, proud, strong, carrying, man made material forged out of mother earth

 pigments have individual stories to tell, individual flavours, energies,…

 white - air, hope, youth, delicate, …

 blue - cold but also the sea, the sky, the air,…

 yellow - warm, colour of the sun, energy, healing, …

 red - fire, blood but also love, turmoil,…

 green - nature, calming, growth but also decay, …

 black - dark, force, heavy, shadows, …

 But actually I am not important – let my work speak….
