I could never reconcile the use of an outline in traditional art; nature - the world outside of us doesn’t have one.
However William Blake's words made me reconsider this:
“Nature has no Outline, but Imagination has, Nature has no Tune, but the Imagination has. Nature has no Supernatural & dissolves: Imagination is Eternity.”
Blake prompted me to go beyond the outward, ever-changing appearance of nature, towards that which is eternal. This new direction has led me towards mythological stories of omnipresent beings, largely forgotten in todays society. I want to rekindle our connection to these beings not just as myths but as an ever present part of our lives. One question I have always asked myself as an artist is, “What is my reality?” this question has slowly changed from the subjective to the objective, “What is the reality?” Through exploring my own imagination, I hope to reveal deeper realms of existence not ordinarily perceived. My hope is to be able to relate these insights to stories of old, to be able to place my experience in these timeless tales of creation. I hope that through daily meditation I’m able to open and expand my consciousness to these deeper and more subtle realms of existence.
Thank you for reading!
