Here’s a drawing of a car or something like a car on a t-shirt.

I was walking around the other day and this image of a woman lying down amongst the trees popped into my head. She was long and thin like a snake and went between and around the trees. This is what I ended up with. Not sure if I’m finished with it yet.

“Deep inside us is a wilderness. We call it the unconscious because we can’t control it fully, so we can’t will to create what we want from it. The collective unconscious is a great wild region where we can get in touch with the source of life.” - Carl Jung.

This was painted over an older painting. It’s nice to work into paint that’s dry sometimes, to get clean unmixed layers happening. I don’t experience this often because I like to finish a painting as fast as I can. Sometimes I think I’d be better off working in acrylics.

This is a drawing from last week that inspired the painting I posted yesterday. As I was drawing I began to think about the Sphinx although it doesn’t quite come across as one. Maybe next time.

I was thinking about cutting off my ear but I painted this instead. Must have been all the absinthe I was drinking!
But seriously, it was fun painting this, thick paint, letting go, more about the paint than the subject matter.

The idea behind this painting changed as it went along. Originally I tried to make some people obscured by trees. Now it’s a couple getting frisky in the bushes or trees personified. On another level it could be the two halves of a single person. But it’s not really for me to tell you anyways.

The symbol of a woman on a bull is ancient, prehistoric. There is the Greek myth of Zeus transforming into a bull and abducting Europa. There’s also the fairytale of the beauty and the beast. You could also say it’s an image of overcoming our animal nature or union with our animal nature/shadow. The thing about symbols is they’re ambiguous and mean what they need to mean at the current moment.——-

These painted drawings seem to be more difficult to do the smaller I make them. It would be nice to do one mural size.

I remember drawing like this in my twenties. I would just randomly change pencil crayons as I drew. It’s true that we move in a spiral and not a straight line.

Why make drawings like this? It does something in my mind, trying to put things in order, it becomes quiet. Trying to see things that can’t be seen or it’s just good fun. —-

This piece of paper went through a lot. Drawn on cut up glued re drawn gessoed more drawing. Sometimes when drawing I try to keep the surface immaculate and it works and other times I screw it up which often leads to a more interesting surface and mark making.

I noticed a plant on the side of the road. It was unusual. It looked like a houseplant growing outside among the grass. It was beautiful. Then suddenly it changed. It was huge and covered in thorns. Eventually it was as tall as me, twisted and thorny, like a monster.

Would like to change something in these drawings. Add something more accidental. That’s probably what the collage ones are about. I want to go further.

Often I get lost in the work and think I can’t bring it back. More so in painting. A feeling of hopelessness. This is shit, I’m shit. But always an insight arrives, a flash of light showing the way out. ——

Persephone is the goddess of the underworld too. The whole cycle of life includes death as well. One of the entomologies of her name is “to bring (or cause) death”.

I totally went off the grid since my performance at the Musée des Beaux-arts, but getting out of my gentle cave to share a few things:
First, thanks to everyone who came to witness my ceremony/ritual/performance at the @mbamtl a couple of weeks ago. This was a truly transformative experience for me, as an artist, as a spiritual being.
One thing I know for sure: I wasn’t alone performing there. There were so many unnamed kin right there with me. It’s by far one of the most meaningful performances I have ever (been) offered. Gratitude to everyone who made this space, this work possible.
After a wonderful, wonderful past 15 months, all of which I am grateful for, I will be retreating from public-facing projects until summer 2022. I need some time & space to slow down, to rest, to reflect, to deepen my spiritual practice & to have naps, many naps, every single day!!
♀️ I will still be doing the odd gig here & there ‘coz I still have bills to pay! So there’ll still be chances to catch me at some events ;-)
In the spirit of slowing down, I have spent the past couple of weeks looking after Zorro. We’ve been getting lots of fresh air on our daily walks & life has been mostly cuddles, naps & belly rubs. So here’s a bunch of pictures of me being a dog parent!
If I haven’t responded to your DMs, I am sorry. I’ll catch up on my communications soon!
Sending love & light to everyone!
