This couplet of works are two single enso (circle) created following a slow smooth breath. A gentle steady inhale and exhale. Focussing my mind and bringing myself to being present in the act of creation. More mindful.
They are a physical record of a captured moment created during lockdown 2020. With a half section of the inner space gilded with 24 carat gold leaf. Southern hemisphere in Optimism I and Northern in II. I am reminded that we have a choice of how to experience and react to that which we cannot control.
Is the contained space half empty or half full?
These two are part of 6 works commissioned for the permanent collection hung in the public spaces and suites. And 8 pieces hung on the first-floor colonnade as part of a pop-up exhibition.
This new hotel is looking amazing. The collection that has been assembled is truly inspiring. An accolade to the vision of the art consultant and designers. They have bought together an international roll call of artists. Each sharing a sensibility to their materials, attention to mastering their process, and sharing an aesthetic that has connections to east Asia.
Totally buzzing to have been a part of this and humbled to see my work appear so at home.
