“…I have never lost a sense of something that lives and endures underneath the eternal flux.
What we see is the blossom, which passes. The rootstock remains.” Carl Gustav Jung
When painting in pure abstraction I am able to explore the “eternal flux”. These images to me are the most sacred.
It seems I am able to grasp a glimpse of the inner goings on of the larger consciousness. By leaving the creative door open waiting
for guidance I am closest to the “rootstock”.
On those glorious days when the push and pull of wet pigment across the page work with seemingly effortless precision,
the image reveals the glimpse that I so crave. I revel in the joy of being present for its creation, not as the creator,
but rather its facilitator.
As life approaches and then passes for all beings, I find comfort in the knowledge that there is a
universal “root stock” which always remains to hold the cosmos together. I am humbled by my part in it.
