Fleeting
Acrylic on canvas, 60 x 60 cm. Painted wrap around edges, ready to hang. Shipping included in the UK.
This painting is one from a series entitled Herstory - Rejuvenate the Spirit.
Inspired by the amazing Adam Curtis film about the machine, I wanted to explore the myth we’ve been sold that nature balances itself. This is not true, nature changes, adapts and survives. So this series of four paintings is about connecting in oneself and the survival and rejuvenation of the spirit.
I decided to chose the titles early on and work into them, inspired by books I was reading at that time. I set myself a challenge of limiting myself to using three tricky colours - pthalo blue, quinacridone red and lemon yellow, plus black and white.
I wanted to have the ancient goddesses in the early layers, overlaid with modern day ‘goddesses’. I am interested in exploring the feminine principle as it relates to both men and women.
This painting is about time, the fleeting nature of our life. Also the fleeting nature of the connection in oneself. Accepting oneself completely is the key to healing.
The fleeting nature of this reality - where did this day go, this year, this life?
The exhausting and endless striving for balance and its fleeting appearance.
A fleeting moment of ‘enlightenment’.
