Fantasy colour interpretation: 2 (in process)

This is my most current work and was not included in the show.

Thank you for your interest in my exhibition and for sharing this stage of my creative journey with me. I hope it in some way enriched you. And that you perhaps found some inspiration to take with you as you continue on your own path in life. 💖

Fantasy colour interpretation: 1

Process (06): I decided to interpret some of these drawn elements in colour, enlarging the scale so that they could have future design applications. (I am currently involved in this process.) This is the final artwork in the exhibition. But I do have one more piece to share with you tomorrow...

Fantasy drawings: 1 & 2

Process (05):
After the collage phase I allowed myself to wander through the fantasy realm by simply putting pencil to paper and drawing. At first just squiggly and flowing lines, and then forms emerged. During this process, I was truly stunned that I could draw in such delicate detail things that did not exist as material objects before my eyes. Instead, what emerged was a unique synthesis of everything I had observed and absorbed, often unconsciously. A reconstituted reality.

Endangered plants: Graphite and colour pencil studies. These plants are endangered - Serruria furcellata (kraaifontein spiderhead) and Moraea loubseri (Spinnekopflappie )

Process (05): When it comes to realistic studies, I especially want to focus on endangered plants. I first explored this avenue several years ago, while still living in South Africa. In general, people are aware of the plight of endangered animals, but plants seem to be sidelined.

Realistic studies: Echinopsis pachanoi (San Pedro cactus)

Process (04): At intervals, between my spontaneous and intuitive approach, I felt the urge to make detailed studies of real plants. These studies are in watercolour paint, graphite pencil and acrylic paint.

Detailed acrylic paintings: Mongolia
My horse trekking trip in Mongolia was truly special. It was enriching to be so close to nature riding and camping out on the Mongolian Steppe. These paintings were made from photos I took of uprooted trees. (They have previously been shared on Instagram.)

Today I'm going to share "My Philosophy" as it relates to this body of work:
In a world where I don’t feel I have much control or influence, instead of being tumbled along, I am choosing to drift away and construct my own version of reality.

Reality encompasses all things. Yet, brutality, with its booming voice comes to dominate and crush. And if only there were a purpose or a noble cause, but it is senseless.

There’s enough evidence to show that even observing pain and suffering creates those physiological and psychological experiences within yourself. And if you cannot stop the pain around you, then at least you can refuse to allow it all inside. Our interconnected world makes the knowledge of global suffering overwhelming and unbearable.

I disassociate as a self-preservation mechanism, tuning into the sound of birdsong and the soothing beauty of the natural living world.

Plants have a strong sense of place, areas where they thrive. Yet plants know no national boundaries. Most of the suffering we endure derives from power struggles between nations and nationalities. But in nature, among plants, there is acceptance, peace and harmony.

I create in my cosy and safe bubble, listening to countless audio books, numbing my mind and emotions. And if my head becomes filled with candyfloss, at least it is sweet.
