November 2021.

Following is the inspiration for my exhibition at Art Source in the RDS from 11th to 14th of November.

                     

When Time Stood Still – 

 

 

Gardened

Lifted plants that were garden bound….

Settled in position forever.

Did not want change but needed,

No pressure, no thoughts,

Just the satisfaction of brown earth,

Cleared out of fuss… waiting for Spring.

The groundedness of just being.

 

Through this vacant silence came….

The undiagnosed worry.

The loneliness of waiting to know….

Just not ready to know yet.

 

Paintings came unannounced

Full of nothing and everything

Paintings that held the sadness….

The slow dawning of what should have been

The paintings that say what you can’t

Paintings that hold language when words won’t come

 

‘Remember the mornings… you already made it through…

For in this life you will find winding paths….You will also find when you get to the river the unknowns did not keep you from knowing peace’
