But in truth, Art IS everything to me and can be found in multiple sources and expressed in multiple ways.  Although I am heavily involved in music my true loves are Visual and the Word.

 

Art and Literature intoxicate me. Edna St Vincent Millay, Ted Hughes & Leonard Cohen undo me. I endlessly fall out of time into a book. 

I am my own harshest critic and destroy much - I could never make a business of my talents -  if it is satisfies me enough that I am happy for it to be seen, I can never sell it because I want to look at it! 

I memorise poetry for spoken word performances; this is often performed as part of the different style music genres the Collective have nesting within it.

 

I write poetry erratically. I dance intoxicatingly if my focus is such. My art can be the flesh.  Apparently, I am mad as a box of frogs... but I totally rock it!

Any inspirations or projects that mean a lot to you?

Sculpture is becoming more often my default medium of choice. I like the three dimensionality of it, the tactile nature of being able to experience other aspects of a work through physical contact. I have been re-making a series of traditional Goddess images sourced from varying past civilisations, as well as forms of my own design.

 

I have found that the act of making these ancient icons has a meditative quality that shapes my experience of the final form more than seeing the original piece.There a numinous quality that puts this specific pan-cultural urge in perspective. It is fascinating to experience the utterly alien thought forms that shaped these resonant archetypes by reverse inhabiting their original makers creative process.
