‘Being Water’ is  based on a photograph I took on Rock Lake in Algonquin and illustrates my theme and belief that Nature is aware and conscious. ‘BeingWater’ is whimsical and  fantasy oriented. How many faces of water can you see? I count more than 9 faces but then water is multi-faceted, multi-talented and very changeable. Our bodies are over two thirds water. No wonder we need to move and dance with this magical element.

‘Being Sky’ is also a visual representation of my belief that Nature is aware and truly a living force.

The conscious cloud is powerful and will eventually fall to earth in the life-giving water cycle.

“His (the lion’s) hypnotic eyes held me motionless in a prison of golden energy. Beams of charged light ricocheted between us increasing in strength until they appeared solid. I was held in thrall.” excerpt from ‘One Bone’ see under Poetry and Writing.

This is one of the pieces from my work in Gallery 96′s ‘Manipulate This’ show in which my work marked the 90th anniversary of the end of WW1. It is from a series called ‘Violent Addictions’ that use poppies as a background and concept for the created image.

I have been exploring years and boxes of polaroids through the use of a new scanner. Much future work will evolve from this past work.

This is one of my Algonquin series.

Shrouded Poppy

I have been out exploring what this year’s poppies have to show us and am excited by some of the new ‘characters’ in 2008, the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
