Rendering abstract imagery using oil pastel brings solidity, form and clarity to my internal process. It is incredibly contrary to what happens when capturing a representational photographic image. This work can bring to life the energy of what lives inside. It is energy that reveals itself after the image is complete. Make time and space and then…
Sit. Wait. And trust.
It is an exercise in surrender, knowing the colors will offer themselves and, when combined, they will reveal an image that represents the essence of an internal experience. The images always have something to teach – about myself and how I inhabit the physical world.
We all have access to our internal landscapes. These are some of mine.
