Journey About Life and Loss

 

This piece communicates the journey we go through life from our birth, the purity and innocence to when we go back to Earth. Loss, trauma, frustration, aggression, pain, hope and happiness are emotions we all experience in life. These, and our own chiseling at our lives, make up who we are.

Memories

Mum you held me and gave me life,

and I held you when you left this life.

 

I wanted to communicate the feeling of being held, security, comfort, love, protection and also the difficult feelings of grief, loss, sadness and letting go, and through the creation process I’m able to heal.

The space that we occupy is Life

The Beginning - Protecting - The End

This is the cycle for all living creatures.

The rhythm and the harmony of nature throughout the seasons.

It explores the positive and negative balance of nature and humans.

Seaweed

Close your eyes

relax and

breathe……..breathe

 

Take it in

listen……..listen

to the sound of the waves, breeze, birds

 

Smell………smell

salty, fishy

 

Touch……..touch

hard, soft, squishy

 

Become one with nature

Seaweed, heart and soul
