Multi-dimensional artist, exploring art and spirituality and how the creative process might meet with the numinous. Tutor, writer, digital media photographer and film maker, focusing mainly on the practice and process of Pilgrimage.
‘I only went for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.’
These words by the nineteenth century Scottish-born American naturalist, John Muir (1838-1914).
I am beginning to revisit my own personal experience of working with nature – and colour in particular. For instance, how can I intergrate my spiritual practice with the intuitive processes in my artistic practice? The obvious way might be to meditate using visualizations of different colours to bring the ‘internal’ landscape into sharper focus , or I might begin by freeing my conscious mind from any pre-conceived ideas altogether and allowing whatever needs to surface to unfold like the petals of a flower.
I am an artist who lives in the heart of a small rural village on the Western edge of Dartmoor, Devon. I love wild places and make work about the pilgrimages I make. Most days revolve around the needs of my two ponies and two whippets and writing a book about one of my epic equine pilgrimage. Otherwise I spend my time creating: with camera, pencil, pen, brush or collage. Also blog posts about walking / thinking / observing / drawing. A spiritual quester who enjoys sharing my encounters with the mystery and magic of everyday life, both mundane and profound. Above all, always searching for the core of my creativity.
