Abstract Advent Week 3 + 2

Abstract Advent Week 3 + 2

Final week (plus 2 days) of Abstract Advent challenge, which I completed on Christmas Eve – it’s been a blast, writing this on Christmas Day – hope you all are having a good one however your celebrate it (or not). First up was Day 15, with a shape like a hole (rather than a head) which I did an ink painting and a wax resist painting on opposite pages as a two page piece. Sadly this got nuked by…

Abstract Advent: Week 2

Abstract Advent: Week 2

Last week was a blast, this week for the Abstract Advent the Christmas Shit™ started to bite, and I found it harder to juggle meeting up with people, portrait sessions, getting all the cards and parcels off in a panic because like storms, flooding, wrong kind of wind, snow and ice on the roads as always Royal Mail can’t keep to their last posting times…

Abstract Advent: Week 1

Abstract Advent: Week 1

After completing Inktober for the last two years I took a well-deserved rest this year, but am taking part in the slightly shorter ‘Abstract Advent’ as run by @artpedagogy, like an abstract advent calendar but on Instagram – so it runs from the 1st of December to the 24th.

Jaunt 2 – Studland / Chesil Beach

Aka ‘Don’t Go Camping In October!’ – Studland/Chesil Beach edition.

I knew it would be cold, but not THAT cold – 7 degrees doesn’t sound that bad, but when you are in a tiny ultralight tent wearing almost every layer you have and you’re still freezing in your sleeping bag, then it’s less like a good working trip and more like endurance. This trip went wrong in many ways – from the lack of layers…

WORDS ARE INCOMPLETE

[side product]

[available]

I have been thinking very much about verbal communication between people lately- and how insufficient and defective it is. I mean, I have known this since my translation studies at university, but anyway.

We are all energetic beings, emitting frequencies and vibes- so we connect with other beings with similar vibes. It feels like heaven to connect with someone- and then -BOOM- words are written or spoken and suddenly you can feel that language is not able to convey these vibes. So language is having a lower frequency than your connection and it starts mingling with the initially higher vibes.

I have read somewhere that the original communication between humans was telepathy- and I have to say that this resonates very much with me.
