original abstract art

inspired by nature 

 

equitable values & creating community

 

wordsmithing

either ink hand stamped

or typewriter text

my artwork is created instinctively. 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. 

 

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. 

 

i employ an equitable method for people to own my collection art via a prize draw. and i am creating a nurturing community, with wellbeing at the core providing space for self-discovery and connection. 

 

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. 

 

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