Oil pastels on A3 pastel paper.

A duo of stream of consciousness drawings made with hand-rolled oil pastels on a pastel grey background. The vibrancy in colour and magical rhythms of particles and waves weave through the floral and celestial compositional elements of each piece. The inner and outer worlds of the individual — one’s subjective experience and the interconnected cosmic conscience — merge into one in the dream-like, multi-layered dimensional aesthetic of these works.

The Inner Garden

At the still centre of this teeming sheet, a single plant opens its red-and-green leaves like a slow flame. Around it the grey paper comes alive — a hand-rolled sun, drifting faces, waves and particles of pure colour — yet the plant keeps its quiet, rooted ground.

It is the inner life made visible: a soul tended like a growing thing, drawing its light from an interior sun while the wider world turns around it.

The Tide of Thought

A profile in repose anchors the page while currents of deep blue move through and around it like water, weather and dream. Foliage, a crescent moon, suns and spiralling particles crowd the grey field, and other faces keep watch from its edges.

Here the inner and outer worlds fold together — thought becomes tide, and the line between the dreamer and the dreamed quietly dissolves.
