There are pieces that I do to help me meditate. I think of them as visual medication. I try to find some harmony…with some challenge…maybe a shape or a colour…I started years ago after visiting The Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver. It wasn’t just peaceful or quiet… it had some quality that raised it and carried it away from the city and time and the day. Every element of the garden had been considered and developed with meaning. It was the first garden I saw that included the sky. I could never reach that insight or enlightenment in my work but I could try to find in some pieces, a way to dream. This piece with its tree and abstract shapes is not intended to be perfect. It’s a suggestion…an invitation to relax and spend some time with it. Look at it…look away…come back…if it reminds you of a time or place or feeling…follow it. I hope it takes you somewhere nice.
