Two Seasons

Last September, after several difficult months following the death of our oldest son, I found myself in a deep creative rut. I simply did not have the energy to think about creating. I was given the thought to just create whatever I wanted to, anything at all, in order to feed my soul and to find a deeper energy.

So I put aside the voices that boss me around and tell me what to make. I put aside any expectations for creating something that would be accepted into a show or gallery. I put aside any hopes of pleasing others and making some sales. Slowly, I began to experiment with some completely new ideas and techniques and slowly I began to create a body of work simply for myself.

This wonderful, crazy creative beginning took a strong hold within me and I had the whole of autumn and winter to continue to create what came from deep within me.

I ended up creating almost 15 pieces over that six months- the most fruitful creative time I have ever experienced.
