original abstract art

inspired by nature 

 

wordsmithing

either ink handstamped

or typewriter text

my artwork is created instinctively, with the structure being influnced by the simplicity of piet mondrian and mark rothko. working on black as i have sensory sensitivity to white. my palette shifts with the seasons, yet is anchored by the constant calming presence of blue.

 

when adding a point of interest,  i integrate elements of traditional craftsmanship that I enjoyed in childhood. such as paper cutting, hand embroidery, weaving, mosaic, hands-on wordsmithing or collage. and sometimes utilise stickers to inject playfulness or symbolism. the ones that i use are odd dot, they are images of ephemera from the victorian era which are quirky and give a nod to people's exploration of art in that period. 

 

i employ an equitable method for people to own my collection art via a prize draw.

 

with a love of wordsmithing i regularly write by hand in cursive, which i have been told numerous times is beautiful to look at but near impossible to read ☺️. as part of my artistic journey i have begun the practice of creating word art using ink stamps or my typewriter on nepalese papers. 

 

a yogi* is a person who embodies the whole practice of yoga as a way of life, not just practicing asana ... the making shapes bit. it influences my values and the way i show up in the world. 

 

(*note: i have desexualised the traditional language to reflect how yoga is evolving in the modern world)
