“It’s about the expression of one’s feelings and their translation into a conceptual art form which can be worn, held or simply viewed. This collection follows on from my 2022 collection, ‘I’m fine’, and explores the freedom within us all to connect at a deeper level.”
To connect with our feelings crosses the complexities and realms of the physical and psychological essence within ourselves. It is our own bravery to connect with our emotions and to explore and evolve – this allows expression.
Inspiration has been drawn from nature with the ‘wood element’ becoming central to the evolving creations. This element is one that seeks ways to grow and expand – it yields a very active energy that allows a lot of movement and progress both internally and externally – it heralds the beginning of life, springtime and buds , sensuality and fecundity. In Chinese medicine, wood is associated with negative feelings of anger and positive feelings of optimism, patience and altruism.
The connections and fluidity within the pieces depict to me the many crossroads, junctions and journeys which affect our everyday lives. The contrast of the rough and smooth surfaces within the pieces serve to highlight the differences during those experiences which give rise to the emotions we feel.
Each design is linked with one of the Ayuveda emotions and seeks to promote balance.
The body piece is called OVERWHELMED linked to the Ayuveda emotion ‘Shringara’ representing ‘love and beauty’
The free flow of wax representing freedom, spiritual growth and the all-encompassing excitement and nervous energy love yields. Everything is possible!
