Rocks & Stars

This is my latest series inspired by imagery streamed to earth from the International Space Station. I am captivated by the idea of the cosmos in formation, flowing rocks, exploding stars, hurtling meteors and the myriad of new discoveries shaping our view of the universe.

I spent a glorious week at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation, doing a course in oils and cold wax medium with renowned American artist, Rebecca Crowell. The scenery was breathtaking. Rainbows every half hour, racing clouds, silvery light, wild sea breezes, mossy , flower-strewn bogs , rock formations of every hue and everywhere the extraordinary etchings of time and weather.

The call of Ballinglen was too much. I returned a year later to do an experimental print-making-course. Once again my work was influenced by rocks, sea stacks, boats bobbing on the waves and the shapes that are fashioned by unseen forces., but this time I worked in a more abstract way.

These paintings are in hot wax upon layers of glass, inspired by my joy in the natural world, and by an ancient Hebrew poem, 'Perek Shira’ (Song of Nature), one of the earliest works recognising the spiritual dimension of nature and the environment. I love the idea of a world in which every element has its own ‘song’, from a blade of grass to the wind, the wings of a butterfly to the passing from day to night.
Each painting measures 15cm x 20cm x 4cm, is framed and self-standing, so the light shines through.
In this body of work I abstract from the natural world to explore themes of renewal in ourselves and in the world about us. I draw on my Jewish heritage for inspiration, trying to find new ways of beautifying the mundane. This series is all about threads, links, gateways, bridges - things that connect, take one on a journey, open up horizons, illuminate, reveal what has been concealed.
