Excellent Question. The image below is a photo of Victorian train station windows taken from a work train journey in the UK, we can safely say was over two years ago. I’d been playing with my Creative Suite app on my phone and I’d been dipping my toes into making new artwork with new media via new routes. The image shows areas of colour which isn’t blended and I had fun. And I will be. It’s good to paint and I love the process. But my studio is not wind tight and the unpredictable Melbourne wind is an interesting thing. So when I can’t paint, what? What is displayed in an exhibition next (?) I ask myself as I sit in the gallery in the last week of Connections. As the weather begins to warm up, painting will happen. But then. On windy days, there are growing options which I’m enjoying.
Perhaps I feel the wind of change across the planet as elections have not returned the hard right-ers in quite the way as expected. Results are not tidy, lying, violence and genocide continue. However, there is not just a wind, but a tsunami of change in more than one piece of geography including the one with the criminal genocide. I’ll catch that tsunami of change as I stare into the truth. I hope that you do too, and with it, fuel your capacity for Hope. I’ll share my visual results with you as we all share our revived courage to love with our communities.
