NEW WORK - Quantum Healing

I made this short film (7.16 mins) in my garden to show my paintings because of the limitations we are all living through at the moment with the pandemic.  The people I have painted in this series emerged as the work progressed, all of them are people who inspired me in some way. This is a recent body of work made between January and April this year (2021).  

A Fundamental Truth

£595.00

I was inspired by the film 'Our Planet' by Sir David Attenborough. The fundamental truth is written on the painting lower left hand side, and is " that we are ultimately bound by, and reliant upon, the finite natural world about us". This film impacted me, it's a serious issue that we are all grappling with. I want my work to express something meaningful. This painting began with the idea of the river of life, the river was taken from a tv programme. I wanted the painting to have some hopeful possibility which I think is expressed in the upper right hand corner. This is my contribution to the dialogue about climate change.

Go Deeper

£595.00

This painting was actually the first of this series, it began with the metal element which to me represented the time we are in (were in when I began) with the pandemic. As usual I start with no idea where the painting will lead. The buildings were an image taken from tv, the water emerged with the use of stencils, slowly the picture builds itself, slowly the images coalesce around an idea. Go deeper came to me through my meditation practice and aha, it starts to make sense. I read Memories, Dreams and Recollections by Carl Jung a very long time ago. I am by no means an academic or analyst/analysee but I can see how Jungs views have informed my whole life. This image of him was taken from the internet and I saw him as a forefather of quantum healing personally and globally.

Placebo

£595.00

This painting started with a landscape taken from a television series I had been watching, inspiration comes from all areas fo my life. I love using stencils and words. ‘Proactive. Change the rules’ - ROAR refers to a particular meditation - recognize, observe, accept and release.


Candace Pert wrote the book 'Molecules of Emotion', another influential book on my work and my life. She is the mother of psychoneuroimmunology. Her work heralded a change of thinking from the old model to quantum model this really interests me. Change we’ve been going through really since the sixties, which represented a big shift in our attitudes and thinking. mirrored in technological advances and scientific understanding. We know now the connection between the body and mind, and the power of the mind. We still don’t know everything about how we work . People who THINK they are being given medicine improve as much as the people given medicine.

Biting Through

£595.00
This painting pictures LaoTzu, the father of Taoism. This has been a major influence on my life through the I Ching and tai chi. I have taken another landscape taken from TV.

This painting is based on a particular hexagram I had thrown in the I Ching. The hexagram, Biting Through, talked about the truth of the matter - for harmony we need to have personal relationships with "defined guidelines, reasonable expectations, reciprocal considerations and clear plans for the future". For me this reflected my own journey and our journey as a species.

Mountains of the Mind

£995.00
I started this painting with thoughts about how our human needs are met, and how this relates to the health of our digestive systems. I had been reading a book about addictions, I believe all addictions are our attempt at getting our needs met. Around this time I stumbled across Robert McFarlane. In lockdown, and in quarantine I was watching television and saw the film Mountain which was totally inspiring. So then I listened to him on Youtube. His way of talking about the land and our relationship with it is truly.

Quantum Field

£995.00
This painting was the initial inspiration for this whole body of work.

I had been inspired by a mediation I had been doing about healing the DNA. Deepak Chopra is a motivational speaker and doctor. He wrote the book 'Quantum Healing' which was one of the first books I read about the paradigm shift going on in healing. and in other areas. He has been very influential in my work as a healer, in my thinking and my ideas.
I wanted this painting to reflect the feeling of outer and inner space I had experienced in the meditations.

Herta Ayrton was a UK suffragist and engineer, physicist, inventor.

She was born in 1854 and died in 1923. I was amazed when saw the photos of her, she was so pioneering for her time, I wanted to honour the women who have led the way, done the ground work.

Winds of Change

£695.00
Donna Strickland, is a Canadian optical physicist, she was the Nobel prize winner for physics in 2018, pioneer in the field of pulsed lasers. This painting began with thinking about how to heal the anger in the world. I love the softness in this painting. We take in energy through the eyes, the vibration of the world. As an artist this is an important aspect of my work. I wanted to bring her energy into this series about quantum healing.
