In this painting a figure falls calmly through an endless galaxy, gently cocooned by a cascading piece of fabric. An abstract figure comprised of colourful shapes emerges from the realistically painted heroine, almost as though she is her spirit self or an alter ego. The torso of this abstract figure is pinched in the centre and shaped like an hour glass. This work is a meditation on time and being. The figure falling through a galaxy is about locating our time and place in the infinite and the passing, and embracing what is and embracing what may be. Time can fly by and yet when we practice presence we can centre ourselves in the present moment and time can feel still. The abstract colourful figure emerging like a spirit or alter ego represents the vivid possibilities and pluralities of how we might express ourselves in the world and if we celebrated our multi-potentiality.
