Skeleton Bloom

Kim Van Vuuren 

'The artwork was inspired by the Diphylleia Grayi, or ‘Skeleton Flower’ because of the fact that when it rains its petals turn from being an opaque white to almost transparent. When saturated, it looks like a spindly ice sculpture. But once it stops raining, the skeleton flower reverts back to its original state.'

Liminal Space

Georgina Hooper

Wanderer in an Ocean of Mist

Professor Dong Ya’s review of Liminal Space (extract)
 
“Georgina’s series of works express the integration of time and space. It is difficult to draw great mountains and rivers with limited ink. Georgina’s painting strokes, in which ink and water are blended together, are vivid and lively, simultaneously dry and wet. Her ethereal and flowing compositions from the scatter perspective with the eye of her heart is the spirit of Chinese ink and water with the form of Western modern constructivism.
 
The internalised emotions of the human mind can interact with external objects and can be translated in the form of paintings through the externalisation of the human heart. The focus of her paintings lies in this philosophy, like that of the moon in the water and the image in the mirror. This is the sublime out of the painting, which is liminal.”

Hermitude in Rain Soaked Mountains

Erik Bulckens

Liminal Space explores the threshold between the visible and invisible word, attempting to push the boundaries of the veil of the metaphysical realm. It is inspired by experiences in nature and was painted on delicate rice paper utilising traditional Chinese painting techniques and brushes. Each painting is composed of indelible mark marking and ancient Chinese calligraphic strokes to represent the unseen and intangible energies surrounding us and within us.

I had a major shifting point in my life when I started reading more books on self-love, reflection and spirituality.  One of the most profound, yet, simple books I read was Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now.

I remember struggling to comprehend a lot of what he was saying because it was so far from how my mind had made sense of the world prior.

Slowly, I realized the true power of being present. I realized that my body was the ultimate tool to fully connect with the now. The sensations, the sights, the smells, the tastes.  When you fully drink it all in, your mind slows down to just being.

I drove here for a surf check in Baja and as I was walking back to my car, I looked up and it was like I hit a pause button.  I was immediately enthralled by this sight.  My mind went quiet as I stared at the grandiosity of the moon above the mountains and palms.

A beautiful thing when it all aligns.

I am not particularly a morning person. However, when tempted with a photography opportunity or sunrise adventure, you bet I am.

Early mornings are always worth the lack of sleep.  It is a different kind of peace when it feels like Earth is still rising from slumber & you are the only one awake.  The energy is different, the light is spectacular and there is also a certain euphoria that comes with being up before sunrise.

On the coast, the early morning fog is stunning to witness.

It makes me think of Earth doing morning meditation with slow breaths.

Earth Breaths

I don’t think there is enough credit given to those who face their own shadows for growth.  It is a deep terror most of us run from.  However, I truly believe those who turn around and walk towards themselves unlock new levels of consciousness and self awareness.

Personally, when I started doing shadow work, it changed everything.  I started to know myself more, have more grace & see others with more compassion.  It was a dark time that eventually led to so much brightness & love.

This photograph represents a metaphor of what this means to me.

At first, there may be darkness but fear not, beauty lies ahead.

Facing Shadows

I set out on a journey from Seattle, WA down to Cabo Pulmo and back.  This collection holds the moments, the light and the textures that stuck with me the most.
