Memento Mori.
"Faced with a void, an untouched surface. I swiftly blemish with pigment. The mark is made. No longer pristine. Who wants to be perfect anyway?
Finding flow, colours merge, I am adrift. Memories bleed out, broken bones, the formless takes its shape. Small wings preach gospel, the end is nigh. “Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.” My kinship with Kahlo.
Levels of pain, covered by layers of paint, a contemporary vanitas. Mother Nature calls us all back to the dirt, finite. Unearthing presence within the chaos, the brush exposes scars.
A sadness in this creative endeavour, that life is too short, and will not last forever."
